According to information from NDR, WDR, and Süddeutsche Zeitung, law firms gave the green light for risky investments, leading to further millions in losses for health insurers and associations of statutory health physicians.

According to the Tagesspiegel, in many cases total losses of millions have been identified, despite the legal requirement that investments made by health insurers must exclude the possibility of losses. The affected funds come from policyholders.
