Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The parliamentary committee of inquiry of the Hamburg citizenship on the cum-ex scandal is continuing its work with organizational matters and planning today (4 p.m.).
The second meeting of the committee deals, among other things, with an application for the submission of files, the selection and equipment of the working team and the parliamentary group employees to be named.
The committee was constituted on November 6th.
The chairmanship is chaired by the SPD MP Mathias Petersen and the CDU legal expert Richard Seelmaecker has been appointed secretary.
The committee is supposed to clarify the allegation of the possible influence of leading SPD politicians on the tax treatment of the Hamburg Warburg-Bank involved in the scandal.
CDU, Left Party and FDP MP Anna von Treuenfels-Frowein had applied for it together.
The background to this is the meetings between the then mayor and today's Federal Minister of Finance, Olaf Scholz, in 2016 and 2017 with Warburg co-owner Christian Olearius, who was under investigation on suspicion of serious tax evasion in connection with cum-ex deals.
