Corruption allegations and AIDS scandal
As early as the 1980s, the Federal Health Office against Weise carried out internal investigations because of his extensive and highly paid secondary work as an expert. In 1984, with his statement, he is said to have delayed the enactment of a regulation for the virus-safe manufacture of coagulation preparations for hemophiliacs . He was later accused of having given the manufacturers, in particular blood donation services of some of the DRK regional associations , economic advantages, while between 1985 and 1988 around 2,500 people with blood from their preparations were said to have suffered HIV infection. Weise himself had already warned against blood transmission in connection with hepatitis- infected blood in 1979 and called for measures to be taken against it.
