Police in China and South Africa have seized thousands of fake doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, the global police organization Interpol said on Wednesday, warning this represented only the “tip of the iceberg” in vaccine-related crime. 

The Lyon-based agency Interpol said 400 vials – equivalent to around 2,400 doses – containing the fake vaccine were found at a warehouse in Germiston outside Johannesburg in South Africa, where officers also recovered fake masks and arrested three Chinese and a Zambian national.
