Berlin (dpa) - The board of directors of the insolvent scandal company Wirecard released several of its former auditors from their obligation to maintain confidentiality before appearing on the Bundestag investigation committee.
This emerges from a letter to the committee that is available to the German Press Agency.
Three summoned employees of the auditing company EY had previously invoked this obligation of confidentiality and announced that they would not testify in the committee on Thursday.
According to the SPD, two of them must now answer the questions of the MPs.
As an auditing company, EY audited Wirecard's annual financial statements.
The company is under fire because the billions fraud was not discovered earlier.
