Berlin (dpa) - The Greens in the Bundestag see a supervisory failure in the case of the Bremen Greensill Bank, which has got into turmoil.
"After the Wirecard scandal, the financial supervisory authority is in the process of sweeping up the pieces, there comes the next scandal - and again the Bafin is not doing a good figure," said financial politician Lisa Paus (Greens) on Friday in Berlin.
"The Greensill Bank case fits seamlessly into the long list of supervisory failures of recent years."
The Bafin let the bank do it, although there were already serious indications of possible inconsistencies.
The Greens had put the case on the agenda of the finance committee.
The Bremen public prosecutor's office is investigating Greensill Bank AG.
The Bafin had previously filed a criminal complaint and closed the subsidiary of the British-Australian financial conglomerate Greensill for customer traffic due to the threat of over-indebtedness.
During a special audit it was found that the Bremen institute was not in a position to “provide evidence of the existence of accounts receivable that it had purchased from the GFG Alliance Group”.
According to reports, it is about the accusation of falsification of accounts.
Already last summer there were reportedly initial indications that the banking supervisors at Bremer Bank should take a closer look.
A few weeks ago, the Bafin sent a special representative to the bank.
