(ANSA-AFP) - BERLIN, 25 GIU - Auditors EY said Thursday they
saw "clear indications" of fraud on global scale at German
payments provider Wirecard, which filed for insolvency after
admitting that 1.9 billion euros ($2.1 billion) were missing
from its accounts. Wirecard's former CEO Markus Braun has
already been detained on suspicion of falsifying accounts before
being released on bail, in what is fast becoming one of
Germany's biggest financial scandals. "There are clear
indications that this was an elaborate and sophisticated fraud
involving multiple parties around the world in different
institutions with a deliberate aim of deception," audit group EY
said, adding it had been given false statements when it was
poring through the firm's 2019 accounts. (ANSA-AFP).
