Marathon Permit Revoked After Famous Fake Paramedic Wrote the Emergency Plan

Just **one week** before the first-ever marathon of Sneek was to take place, the municipality of Sudwest Fryslan **pulled the permit**. The reason: the emergency medical plan had been drawn up by a notorious fraudster known as the *"fake paramedic."* Over **3,000 runners** had registered for the event, scheduled for **June 20**. Normally, the organization worked with a trusted first-aid company from Sneek, but that company was occupied on Terschelling. They ended up hiring **Medical Support Group International** from Groningen — unknowingly the front for **A.E.P.**, a man who has repeatedly impersonated police officers, firefighters, and ambulance personnel. He wrote the medical plan, submitted it, and the permit was granted. The municipality only discovered his involvement **a week ago** and revoked the permit immediately. An internal memo warned staff: *"Although it looks good on paper, this person is unreliable and a risk to safety and public health."* The fake paramedic has made the news multiple times for showing up at accident scenes in realistic ambulances with flashing lights and sirens, filled with stolen medical equipment. He once tried to take a woman in medical distress into his fake ambulance during **Sneekweek**, stopped only by alert first-aiders who called the police. He also drove around in a fake ambulance in Groningen, stopping to help a fallen woman at a bus stop, diagnosing her and handing her official-looking forms. Despite the permit revocation, the marathon organization remains hopeful. They are in talks with another medical provider and believe they can still get a new permit in time. *"The coming days we will draft a new plan,"* they said.
