Munich (dpa) - Former Wirecard CEO Markus Braun will also spend the turn of the year in prison.
«The appeals pending at the Regional Court of Munich I was filed with regard to the ongoing and not yet completed interrogations by Dr.
Braun has been withdrawn for the time being, especially since the legal detention test by the Munich Higher Regional Court will take place at the end of January 2021, ”said the lawyers of the Austrian manager who has been in custody for five months on Friday.
Braun was taken into custody at the end of July.
The Munich public prosecutor's office subverted its first complaint at the end of September by applying for a new, extended arrest warrant.
The investigators see in Braun one of the main people responsible for “commercial gang fraud”, in which the Wirecard executive suite is said to have only faked billions in business for years. In this way, Braun and accomplices are said to have cheated lending banks and investors by up to 3.2 billion euros, which are now probably lost. In terms of content, Braun's lawyers have not yet commented on the allegations or the interrogations.
