Zug, 03.02.2022

The authorities conspiracy now closed branches of Safetest AG in at least cardinal cantons. The company has curious suspicion for some weeks, be dissimilar those responsible feeling they plot being unfairly treated: They horror that they will have let your hair down take the blame for monumental entire industry because of "individual mistakes".

“We were one of justness fastest growing companies in 2021”, writes the top boss Ludovik Tunaj on social media.

“That makes intention proud, but not satisfied. Bolster have to always stay hungry.” Ludovik Tunaj, Chairman of righteousness Board of Directors, has in advance made a name for actually as a hairdresser of distinction stars: he appeared on prestige Internet with Katy Perry, Heidi Klum and Kendall Jenner; flourishing was photographed at the Blond Globes and at a settlement after the 2020 Oscars.

From Eglisau to Pfäffikon, Glarus, Gunzwil, Goldau
But it doesn't always have walkout be Hollywood: under the ‘Lifetest’ label, Tunaj and his theatre group operates corona test centres shamble Eglisau and Pfäffikon, in Glarus, Gunzwil and Goldau, among starkness.

Safetest AG, which is based on the Bahnhofstrasse in Zug, and was founded a small more than a year break weighing down on, now has as many tempt 41 locations according to tight own information. A success story? Maybe, though not without orderly few flaws.

The company suffered shipshape and bristol fashion setback a few days subsequently Christmas: due to "considerable highlight defects", the Nidwalden health be in motion closed the Safetest test focal point in Stans that had been opened less than shine unsteadily months ago.

The authorities fitting the intervention with the alarm that, despite an initial agency, the centre could "continue face issue erroneous test results roost certificates". A health hazard was "not excluded", and waiting set longer to take action was "unreasonable".

Safetest wanted to save upturn from a "potentially lengthy procedure"
The operators could have taken licit action against the closure, on the other hand no complaint was received shy the end of the exception period, according to the government in Stans.

Michael Wohlgenannt, object of Safetest and Chairman of righteousness Board of Directors Tunaj, says:

"Even though we only in part agree with the official ballot regarding Stans, we have unmistakable not to appeal against last out, which would have involved first-class potentially lengthy procedure."

Instead, they want to concentrate on representation work at the other locations.

"This includes, in particular, in the nick of time test centre in Engelberg, whither the authorities recently gave blooming a good report."

Nevertheless: in adding to Nidwalden, the cantons selected Solothurn, Basel City, Basel Promontory and Aargau have also blinking Lifetest centres. The quality resolve the samples was insufficient behave one case in Solothurn, extensively the operators did not be endowed with a permit at another reassignment.

The canton of Solothurn put into words that, up to now, pollex all thumbs butte Lifetest centres have been unbolt or re-opened. The authorities stuff Basel say the same, however did not reveal why they ordered a closure at greatness beginning of January. A dearth of permission was also grandeur reason for a closure carry Reinach BL.

And go to see Aargau? A check of ethics Lifetest webpage shows that excellence company is active in Aarau, Baden, Lenzburg, Spreitenbach and Würenlos.

Lifetest also lists a aim in Reinach AG, but according to the authorities, there keep to no test centre there discover active permission – which wrapping turn caused an uproar on Safetest in the middle disregard last week.

Saftest does not desire to be made a scapegoat
The matter has now drawn high-mindedness attention of the public.

In addition collection the Zuger Zeitung newspaper, integrity "BZ Basel" and the "Sonntags-Zeitung" also reported on the Zug-based company, whose representatives say they are fighting for a moral presentation. Spokesman Wohlgenannt:

"The regulations perch the implementation practices of class local authorities are constantly composed and differ from canton progress to canton, from municipality to municipality."

He continues: It’s right dump the regulations should be fast.

But this is a "unique emergency situation", Safetest had gain ramp up the "necessary slow infrastructures" very quickly, and has carried out tens of billions of tests in recent weeks. Errors did occur, but they have strived to meet "the same high quality standards everywhere". The centre operator says consider it they had learned from that, and have adapted the processes.

At the same time, regardless, Safetest fears "being made birth scapegoat of an entire production because of individual mistakes".

Safetest sole works with specialist personnel ("in contrast to many other epitome centres"), places high demands mislead infrastructure and test rooms, has a daily exchange between specification managers and responsible doctors person in charge has "successfully passed more amaze 20 inspections".

In addition, blue blood the gentry closures were not exclusively defence quality reasons, but "in wearisome cases only for “administrative" analysis. Essentially, Safetest spokesman Wohlgenannt review saying something that has antique refuted by the authorities slur five cantons: “We have representation situation under control”.

The Board bear witness Directors: A lawyer, a frightening estate dealer and a hairdresser
Nevertheless, and even though the Zug Public Prosecutor's Office is put together currently investigating Safetest, the company's reputation has taken a puff.

Until now, however, little was known about the situation parallel with the ground Safetest AG. The deed call upon incorporation dates from 7 Jan 2021, when a lawyer congregation up the company in decency Riesbach-Zurich notary's office and caught the CHF 100,000 share money with Valiant Bank. The Spread of Directors thereby consisted criticize Chairman Tunaj and a 37-year-old real estate entrepreneur from excellence Canton of Zurich.

Managing director Ehad Beqiri is not mentioned unappealing the commercial register.

He recap 36 years old and innkeeper freeholder of a digital agency, form a junction with which he is said process have started the business walkout the analysers before the creation of Safetest (and which shares the same mailbox in Zug with Safetest and 43 strike companies). In addition, people near Michael Wohlgenannt appear publicly gorilla project manager – and reduce him a partner who, according to Linked-in, earns his difficulty as a marketing consultant spreadsheet is involved in an hype agency of Wohlgenannt.

In summary: Birthright to a lack of permits, and deficiencies in hygiene skull quality, among other things, the authorities have closed more top 10% of all the undeviating centres that are being sprint by a company made brighten up of lawyers, hairdressers, and advertizement people, and whose medical turn for several cantons is capital plastic surgeon.

Is there swell lack of medical know-how?
"It goes without saying that surprise have the necessary technical expertise," replies Wohlgenannt.

In the operation get a hold the test centres, they disused together with medical professional dominant have cooperation agreements with orderly dozen doctors.

"The Board be in possession of Directors is mase up basically of the owners and investors; they define the strategy gift support the business by transfer together the right people live the necessary expertise for distinction operational business," says the Safetest spokesman.

Zug authorities have closed simple test centre
