Former Wirecard board member Jan Marsalek, who is accused of being involved in a billion dollar fraud, allegedly flew from Bad Vöslau to Minsk on the night of June 19, write “Kurier” and “Süddeutsche Zeitung “without citing the source. So far, a flight was rumored on June 18 from Klagenfurt. At that time there was still no arrest warrant for the fugitive Marsalek, he was suspended as a member of the Wirecard board. The flight would have been legal at the time, writes the “messenger.”
On the eve of the flight, Marsalek met with a former high-ranking employee of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BVT), according to newspapers, according to the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” in Munich. Marsalek has a friendly relationship with the former licensing officer.
Reason for stay in Minsk unknown
It is unknown what Marsalek did after arriving in Minsk. The man who has now been wanted for an international arrest warrant is said to have good contacts with the Russian secret service. It is speculated that it could be in Russia.
Billions in Fraud: Increasing Pressure on Examiners
According to the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, there is also increasing pressure on EY’s auditors, who were responsible for Wirecard for years and who did not discover the billions in fraud at the company. Because KPMG, which was called for a special audit, reported in April 2020 that an EY employee reportedly warned as early as 2016 that Wirecard executives could be involved in fraud and that there should have been a bribery attempt . Marsalek completed a subsequent forensic investigation without a final report, and the results of the investigation were not sufficiently taken into account in the 2017 annual financial statements. EY denies allegations that everything was properly documented at the time.
Wirecard allows air reservations
In June, the now insolvent payment service provider Wirecard admitted air bookings of 1.9 billion euros. The Munich prosecution assumes that Wirecard has been showing false earnings since 2015 and is investigating commercial gang fraud.
