(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, 19 GIU - The chief executive of
scandal-hit Wirecard resigned on Friday after the German
payments provider was hit with fresh fraud allegations that have
left it struggling to survive. "In mutual consent with the
Supervisory Board of Wirecard AG, Dr. Markus Braun resigned
today with immediate effect," Wirecard said in a statement.
Auditors on Thursday said 1.9 billion euros ($2.1 billion) were missing from Wirecard's accounts, sending its share price plummeting by over 80 percent since Wednesday. Braun will be replaced on an interim basis by James Freis, the firm added.
