Court claimed doctor was illegally issuing exemption forms for profit.

A doctor in Germany was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison after she was found guilty of illegally distributing mask exemption forms to over 4,000 people amid the pandemic.
The London Telegraph reports:

A court in the town of Weinheim in southern Germany found the 58-year-old doctor guilty, in more than 4,000 cases, of handing out fake doctor’s notes to people who refused to wear medical masks during the pandemic.
The court claimed the doctor’s issuance of exemption forms was “more reminiscent of a sale than a medical procedure,” and contended she never met with most of the patients to whom she issued waivers.
The doctor was additionally barred from her medical profession for three years, and incurred a 28,000 euro ($29,525USD) fine.
“The doctor’s clerk has to pay a fine of 2,700 euros ($2,848USD),” reports German outlet SWR.
According to the Telegraph, the doctor’s attorneys argued masks were detrimental to people’s health.
During the trial, the doctor’s legal team had argued that masks are harmful to human health and said that her client had acted for ethical reasons.
“There are things that you don’t need to examine. If you take away my ability to breathe you don’t need a physical check-up to confirm that,” lawyer Beate Bahner told broadcaster ARD outside the courthouse.
Lawyers said the doctor planned to appeal the conviction.
Demonstrators gathered outside the court in Weinheim to protest the doctor’s conviction, with one reportedly carrying a sign written in German reading, “Human dignity has been violated! When will you rise?”
Das Amtsgericht Weinheim hat eine Ärztin zu mehr als zwei Jahren Freiheitsstrafe verurteilt, weil sie in 4247 Fällen unrechtmäßig Atteste zur Befreiung von der Maskenpflicht ausgestellt hatte. Zudem gibt es ein vorläufiges Berufsverbot.

The Daily Mail has more background on German mask rules nearly two years after the start of the Covid crisis:
Germany ended requirements to wear masks in many indoor settings last year, though they are still compulsory on long-distance trains, in doctors’ practices, hospitals, nursing homes and on some regional public transport.
In April 2020, the wearing of masks on public transport was made compulsory in Berlin and other cities.
Now, nearly three years on, Germans are still required to wear masks on long distance public transport and in doctors’ surgeries.
