Bundestag Launches Investigative Commission Into Wirecard Scandal

BERLIN, GERMANY - OCTOBER 08: Kay Gottschalk (L), Bundestag MP of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), speaks to the media after he was confirmed to lead the Bundestag Wirecard investigation commission following the commission's first session as fellow AfD MP Bernd Baumann looks on on October 08, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. The commission will investigate whether German authorities failed to act on indications that accounting at Wirecard was questionable. Wirecard, which specialized in credit card transaction processing, filed for bankruptcy not long after revelations emerged that its accounting had been falsified over years.
