When pharmacist Hendrik Müller checked his company account at the end of January, he had doubts.

He was reimbursed more than 60,000 euros net: money from the federal government, six euros for each FFP2 mask distributed in his two pharmacies in Obernkirchen.

“Certified FFP2 masks can be purchased for 60 to 70 cents net, resulting in a net profit of 40,000 euros.

The gross remuneration of six euros is completely inappropriate and a scandal, ”says Müller.
