Wirecard scandal: Marsalek reports to the judiciary via a lawyer

MUNICH (dpa-AFX) – In the Wirecard scandal, the main suspect, Jan Marsalek, who has been in hiding for three years, reported to the Munich judiciary through his defense attorney. A letter from the lawyer was received at the Munich I district court, a spokesman for the court said on Tuesday. The “Wirtschaftswoche” reported first. The court spokesman did not name the content or details of the letter.

According to “Wirtschaftswoche”, the lawyer did not specifically address the allegations of fraud against the Austrian manager in the letter. The former Wirecard board member went abroad in the summer of 2020 when the collapse of the former Dax (DAX 40) group became apparent. According to various media reports, Marsalek is said to have fled to Russia./cho/DP/he
