Four employees of a funeral home sold human bodies to medical universities "for 1,200 euros per corpse" At least 11 bodies are believed to have been involved. Two employees of the funeral home had falsified documents to sell a body stored in a hospital morgue to a university, instead of burying it.

The four suspects had a specific modus operandi. They were looking for “deceased people without family” and “preferably foreigners” In addition, the suspects also made the universities pay to help them dispose of the remains already studied.
