Wirecard trial: Judge advises defendant Stephan von Erffa to make a deal. Wirecard went bankrupt in June 2020 because 1.9 billion euros booked in escrow accounts could not be found.
After confessing to his involvement in the alleged fraud and other alleged crimes at the former DAX group, he was released from custody under conditions in February. A deal could end the process more quickly. According to a psychiatric report, the former chief accountant is guilty. A discontinuation of the proceedings or an acquittal is not in sight.
