MONTREAL—Quebec’s anti-corruption unit says it is carrying out a “large-scale” investigation into cases of alleged fraud related to the production and sale of false COVID-19 vaccine passports.

The police force, known as UPAC, warned that people who produce, sell or use false COVID-19 vaccination documents could face criminal charges, including breach of trust and corruption, and charges under the Public Health Act.
