In dieser Presseclub-Folge sprechen Ali und Björn mit Olaf Storbeck, Leiter des Frankfurter Büros der Financial Times. Storbeck ist seit vielen Jahren Finanzjournalist, unter anderem bei Reuters und dem Handelsblatt, und gehört zu den profilierten Beobachtern von Unternehmen, Banken und Notenbanken in Deutschland. Das erste große Thema ist Olafs Steckenpferd: Corporate Governance in deutschen börsennotierten Unternehmen. Olaf beschäftigt nicht erst seit Wirecard die Frage, warum der Markt schlechte Unternehmensführung hierzulande oft nicht hart genug ahndet – und er ordnet ein, warum er „nach wie vor große Probleme“ bei der Governance sieht und weshalb sich diese Risiken aus seiner Sicht zu selten in niedrigeren Bewertungen niederschlagen. Im zweiten Schwerpunkt geht es um Zinsen, die EZB und die Folgen für die Realwirtschaft. Als Korrespondent einer global weithin gelesenen Finanzzeitung berichtet Olaf über die globale Perspektive der Euro-Zinspolitik und darüber, wie im Umfeld der Europäischen Zentralbank aktuell über weitere Zinsschritte diskutiert wird. Erst jüngst hat er in der FT geschildert, wie sich höhere Renditen bei Bundesanleihen bereits jetzt – schlechte Nachrichten für deutsche Häuslebauer – in den Hypothekenzinsen niederschlagen. Zum Schluss gibt es wie immer Literaturtipps aus der Runde – denn wie immer im Presseclub geht es bei den Literaturempfehlungen nicht nur um Fachliches. Was Olaf Storbeck, Ali und Björn empfehlen, erfahren Sie in der aktuellen Folge des „Presseclub“.
A Monaco, nel 1999, nasce Wirecard, una piccola società di elaborazione dei pagamenti. Wirecard nel tempo cresce fino ad entrare tra le 30 aziende più importanti della Germania, diventando il simbolo del nuovo capitalismo digitale europeo. Il problema è che quell'azienda, in realtà, non esiste: i suoi miliardi sono un'invenzione di qualcuno, un paese nemico, e il suo direttore operativo è da anni una spia russa. Questa è la storia di una delle più grandi truffe finanziarie dell'Europa del dopoguerra: una lezione brutale su come il mercato finanziario non sia progettato per premiare chi ha ragione, ma chi è più convincente.

In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we dive into one of the most critical but overlooked foundations of finance: internal controls and fraud prevention. What starts as a simple reconciliation issue quickly becomes a much bigger question about trust, accuracy, and the systems that keep businesses running. Internal controls are often misunderstood as bureaucratic red tape, but in reality, they function as the immune system of a company. They are the invisible guardrails that ensure financial data is accurate, operations run efficiently, and organizations remain compliant with regulations. Without them, even the largest companies can collapse under the weight of errors or fraud.We break down the three core types of internal controls, preventive, detective, and corrective, and explain how they work together to protect a company's financial integrity. From segregation of duties and access controls to reconciliations and internal audits, you will learn how finance teams design systems that catch issues before they become catastrophic.This episode also explores real-world case studies that show both success and failure. We look at how companies like Microsoft and Procter and Gamble build robust control environments through automation and culture, and contrast that with major breakdowns like Enron and Wirecard, where weak oversight and lack of verification led to massive financial scandals.We also unpack the role of regulation, including the impact of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and what corporate finance and compliance teams actually do day to day to maintain trust in financial reporting.Ultimately, this conversation reframes internal controls as more than just compliance. They are systems designed to engineer trust, reduce risk, and protect the credibility of financial information in global markets.If you work in finance, analyze companies, or want to understand how businesses prevent fraud and ensure accuracy behind the scenes, this episode will fundamentally change how you think about financial systems.
Falsche Briefköpfe, falsche Aktenzeichen, falsche Unterschriften und ein falscher Doktortitel. All das brachte dem Unternehmer Hendrik Holt mehrere Millionen Euro – und eine Haftstrafe von neun Jahren. Holt galt als Hoffnungsträger der deutschen Energiewende. Bis rauskommt: Die von ihm an Energiekonzerne vermittelten Windkraftprojekte gibt es gar nicht. Jan Peter und Sandra Naumann haben Hendrik Holt für den SWR über eineinhalb Jahre hinweg immer wieder getroffen, sich durch seine Ermittlungsakte gearbeitet und mit Ermittlern, Freunden und Familienangehörigen gesprochen. In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt Jan von Holts steilem Aufstieg, den Lügen, die ihn weit gebracht haben, und von einem Witz, der ihm zum Verhängnis wurde.

Chris speaks with intelligence historian and journalist Trevor Barnes about the Bulgarian spy ring trial at the Old Bailey, one of the most significant espionage cases in the UK since the Cold War. Barnes attended the proceedings and walks Chris through how a network of Bulgarian nationals, allegedly directed remotely by fugitive Wirecard executive Jan Marsalek from Moscow, was tasked with surveilling journalists and dissidents across Europe — including Bellingcat investigator Christo Grozev — in operations that prosecutors suggested could have enabled kidnapping or assassination. The case cracked open after a US intelligence tip-off, was jointly handled by MI5 and the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, and ultimately turned on roughly 200,000 encrypted Telegram messages. Barnes unpacks what the trial revealed about Russia's growing reliance on proxy networks and criminal cut-outs in place of traditional deep-cover officers, and what it signals for Western counter-intelligence in an era of mounting state-sponsored threats.Subscribe and share to stay ahead in the world of intelligence, global issues, and current affairs.Read Trevor's article about the trial: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/trevorwbarnes_britain-russia-bulgarian-activity-7440003523754459136-PscmConnect with Trevor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevorwbarnes/Support Secrets and SpiesBecome a “Friend of the Podcast” on Patreon for £3/$4: https://www.patreon.com/SecretsAndSpiesBuy merchandise from our shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/60934996Buy us a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/secretsandspiesSubscribe to our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDVB23lrHr3KFeXq4VU36dgFor more information about the podcast, check out our website: https://secretsandspiespodcast.comConnect with us on social media Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/secretsandspies.bsky.socialInstagram: https://instagram.com/secretsandspiesFacebook: https://facebook.com/secretsandspiesSpoutible: https://spoutible.com/SecretsAndSpiesFollow Chris and Matt on Bluesky:https://bsky.app/profile/chriscarrfilm.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/mattfulton.netSecrets and Spies is produced by Films & Podcasts LTD: https://filmsandpodcasts.co.uk/Music by Andrew R.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa Fine talks with Trish Ashman, Senior Director of Ethics & Compliance (AMEA & APAC) at Cushman & Wakefield, about resilience, integrity, and knowing when it's time to move on. Trish shares her journey from private practice in London to Singapore and into the Ethics and Compliance space. Trish was at Wirecard and then at Twitter, both of which had her working through two major corporate crises – the fraud at Wirecard and the ownership change at Twitter. Trish candidly shares her experiences and lessons learned from both of those roles. At Wirecard, she stayed to support employees during the collapse, focused on fairness and doing what she could to make a difference. At Twitter, after the acquisition dramatically reshaped the company and its compliance function, she considered whether she could still meaningfully influence ethical decision-making and if this role aligned with her values. This episode is an honest conversation about ethics and compliance as a calling, resilience as a muscle, and how these experiences shaped Trish and helped her become resilient and find a role where she would thrive.

Host Victor opens by previewing the podcast's current coverage: HBO's Industry (focus of this episode), The Pitt on HBO Max, Apple TV+'s Drops of God, and a Christopher Nolan rewatch ahead of The Odyssey (with upcoming discussion of Insomnia). He also mentions upcoming premieres including Paradise, which remains the podcast's most popular show. mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com Victor calls Industry's episode “Dear Henry” an elite, event-packed installment that feels like a season finale while resolving little. He follows up on last week's revelation that Tender is effectively a Ponzi scheme by outlining real-world analogs: the FTX collapse (FTX/Alameda circular self-inflation via the FTT token), Germany's Wirecard fraud (manufactured transactions, overpaying for acquisitions, auditors' failures, and political/regulatory protection including actions against Financial Times reporting), and Theranos as a charisma-driven deception. He also notes money-laundering examples involving Ghana and argues the show's broader theme is the emptiness of a culture fixated on wealth, valuation, and belief-driven “truth,” raising questions about how much corporate value is overstated and whether society celebrates con men. Joined by Darren, they first discuss the Game of Thrones prequel A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (episodes 1–5), praising its intimacy, sets, humor, acting, and a brutal recent battle episode, and noting its short season and fast production cadence. They then break down “Dear Henry”: Harper warns Yasmin that she and Henry were duped by Whitney, and while Yasmin reacts defensively, the warning sinks in. Whitney's unsettling dynamic with Henry escalates (including a bathroom/shower moment and later clubbing), while Henry grows suspicious about Tender's audit and Whitney's manipulation. Sweetpea's public takedown presentation at an Alpha conference drives Tender's stock down sharply and impresses Eric, who watches with pride. In Ghana, a planned whistleblower meeting is disrupted when Whitney arrives first and intimidates the potential source (Tony), reinforcing fears of more dangerous forces behind Tender. Later, Whitney is revealed to be using a fabricated identity (a Lithuanian passport is shown) and a conversation indicates Russian-linked backers are laundering money through Tender, trapping Whitney and raising the stakes for everyone. They discuss Whitney's use of high-end escorts as tools for access and influence; Hayley confirms she and others were planted around key figures and that sex acts were recorded, confronting Yasmin with how they were exploited. Eric receives a compromising video involving an underage girl (“Dolly”) while with his daughter, but still appears on TV to push for a new audit, warning Whitney not to corner him and implying he could expose Whitney. Henry fires an auditor and tries to assert control as CEO, while Whitney continues drafting a “Dear Henry” letter about a “hole in the bucket,” revealed as a cash-flow/shortfall problem. The episode culminates in Eric meeting Harper with a lawyer present; he asks only for his original investment back to be put in trusts for his daughters if the short pays off, suggesting he may be planning to exit entirely. Eric admits he felt genuine pride watching Sweetpea, more than he expected he could feel, and the final image of him walking alone fuels Victor and Darren's concern about possible suicide or at least Eric's departure from the show. They close by anticipating two remaining Industry episodes, the A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms finale, and the upcoming launch of Paradise, while noting Darren will be traveling and will catch up later. 00:00 Welcome & What We're Covering This Week (Industry, The Pit, Drops of God, Nolan Rewatch) 02:36 Why This Week's Industry Episode ‘Dear Henry' Feels Like a Finale 03:20 Tender as a Ponzi: Looking for Real-World Analogs 05:24 FTX Explained: The Circular Token House of Cards 10:27 Wirecard: The Closer European Parallel (Fraud, Audits, Politics) 18:26 More Scams & Money Laundering Threads: Theranos, Ghana, and Beyond 19:59 What Industry Is Really Saying: The Emptiness of Wealth Culture 23:49 Darren Joins: Quick Detour Into the New GoT Prequel ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' 39:41 Back to Industry: First Impressions, Then Scene-by-Scene Breakdown Begins (Yasmin & Harper) 42:46 Yasmin vs. Harper: Self-Made Power vs. Riding Coattails 43:32 Trailer Talk: Are Harper & Yasmin Two Sides of the Same Coin? 45:48 Whitney's Shower Ambush & the ‘Hole in the Bucket' Letter 49:44 Boarding School ‘Experimentation' and Henry's Growing Suspicion 52:12 Whitney's Intimate Manipulation: Touch, Jealousy, and Control 57:03 Political Satire + Real-World Scam Parallels (FTX, Wirecard, Theranos) 01:01:35 ‘Too Big to Fail' Lies: Can a Fake World Hold Together? 01:03:06 Clubbing, Relapse Energy, and Henry's Night Spirals 01:05:53 Was Jim's Overdose a Setup?

Send a textRecap & Breakdown of HBO's Industry season 4 episode 6,Harper launches her assault on Tender at the Alpha Conference, delivering a devastating short thesis complete with a DCF analysis and sum-of-the-parts valuation. We break down every piece of the finance, from enterprise value vs. equity value, what a price target of zero really means, and the real-world fraud parallels to Enron, Valiant, and Luckin Coffee. We also discuss why Tender's "convertible bond" is actually a putable bond (a la Succession Season 1). Meanwhile, Whitney's relationship with Henry takes some deeply unsettling turns, and cracks in Tender's armor start showing from directions nobody expected. The episode's biggest revelations reshape everything we thought we knew, which would have been unbelievable had it not come directly from the Wirecard scandal. A bunch of our theories come true but sadly...and we discuss new theories and hopes given a shocking exit by one of our characters. With only two episodes left this season, the battle lines are drawn.

In this episode, Chris speaks with German investigative journalist Manuel Bewarder about the Jan Marsalek spy network and the landmark UK trial that exposed it. They unpack how the former Wirecard executive allegedly directed a Bulgarian spy ring from Moscow, targeting journalists, dissidents, and even U.S. military facilities in Germany. Drawing on thousands of Telegram messages revealed in court, Manuel explains how the network operated, how close it came to violence, and what the case reveals about modern Russian espionage—from freelance-style proxy networks to sabotage plots and battlefield intelligence collection. They also explore ongoing investigations in Austria and Germany, and what Marsalek's continued presence in Russia tells us about his ties to the Kremlin.

Jan Marsalek, der flüchtige Ex-Wirecard-Manager und Spion, wird international gesucht und führt seit fünf Jahren ein Leben im Verborgenen, mit falschen Pässen und wechselnden Identitäten – bis jetzt. Eine internationale Recherche hat enthüllt: Marsalek lebt in Moskau und arbeitet für den russischen Geheimdienst. Journalist:innen von Spiegel, ZDF, dem österreichischen Standard, des US-Senders PBS und der russischen Investigativplattform The Insider haben enthüllt, wie das Leben von Jan Marsalek heute aussieht. In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt Investigativjournalist Jörg Diehl (zu dem Zeitpunkt Investigativ-Chef des SPIEGEL) von der Spurensuche und dem Moment, als sie Jan Marsalek aufgespürt und enttarnt haben – und was eine Sachertorte damit zu tun hat.

To close the year, in this episode of “No Worse Off” hosts Emma Gateaud, Lindsay Hingston and Alex Thomson look back at the key developments in the restructuring market in 2025. In a monthly run-down they spotlight new trends in liability management and out-of-court solutions, and pivotal court decisions that have reshaped the UK restructuring plan. The team also highlights headline bankruptcy cases, the Supreme Court's motor finance ruling and a landmark decision in Wirecard. Stay tuned for more insights into the world of restructuring and thank you for listening to "No Worse Off."
In Folge 369 ziehen wir eine Zwischenbilanz im Wirecard-Strafprozess und sprechen über Urteile nach einer Blockadeaktion der Letzten Generation und über Fanausschreitungen.
"If you can get a court to say you're Satoshi, and you are of this mindset, you can then go ahead and you can sue Bitcoin developers, Bitcoin exchanges, whatever, to say, "look, I've got a court ruling that I'm Satoshi. Your version of Bitcoin is not the real Bitcoin. I'm Satoshi. My version of Bitcoin", which in Craig's world as BSV, is the real Bitcoin. So you need to either pay damages or license from me, etc. So the whole point was to get a court to rule he was Satoshi, which would give him the foundation to file these lawsuits that he did at the same time anyway. But that was the whole point was to get that first one through the door, get a court to say he's Satoshi, give him massive backing when he tries to take on the institutions to try and get the billions from them. Because again, just like with the ATO, it's a shortcut to riches."~ Mark Hunter What happens when an elaborate con becomes one of Bitcoin's strangest sagas? In this episode, I sit down with Mark Hunter (Dr. Bitcoin) and Arthur Van Pelt—the duo behind the “FakeToshi” chronicle—to dig into the unbelievable story of Craig Wright, Calvin Ayre, and the tangled web of fake lawsuits, forged evidence, and tax scams that have haunted Bitcoin for nearly a decade. We unpack the origins of the infamous “Satoshi” claims, how two researchers uncovered endless contradictions, and why the trail now stretches from Australian tax authorities all the way to Europe's Wirecard scandal. How did one man's pursuit of prestige and power turn into an ongoing courtroom drama—and why does anyone still believe him? It's a fascinating blend of true crime, bitcoin history, and a cautionary tale about hubris in the digital age. ***Audiobook Giveaway deadline extended*** The entry deadline has been extended to Thursday 4th Dec so everyone has a fair chance to participate.

Es ist eines der letzten großen Fragezeichen im Wirecard-Komplex: Woher kamen die Millionen? Denn wem das Geld gehört hat, war bisher unbekannt. Arne Meyer-Fünffinger von BR Recherche berichtet seit mehr als fünf Jahren über Wirecard und nimmt uns in dieser 11KM Folge mit auf die Spur des Geldes. Er erzählt, wie ein kanadischer Glücksspielmogul in Antigua geholfen haben könnte, die Fassade von Wirecard aufrecht zu erhalten. Und was der Erfinder des Bitcoins damit zu tun haben könnte.

Am Landgericht München läuft der Wirecard-Prozess. Unstrittig ist inzwischen, dass 1,9 Milliarden Euro auf Treuhandkonten nie existierten. Was aber ist mit den Millionen Euro, die über die konzerneigene Bank geflossen sind?

L'apertura di giornata, con le notizie e le voci dei protagonisti. Tutto in meno di 30 minuti.Nel nostro primo approfondimento di giornata ospitiamo Andrea Franceschi, giornalista del Sole 24 Ore, che ci parla del suo nuovo podcast "Squali". La seconda serie del podcast racconterà, in otto episodi, la storia del più clamoroso scandalo finanziario della storia europea recente: il caso Wirecard.
Trust in institutions, says Chris Long, professor at St. John's University in New York City and a leading scholar on trust, control, and institutional contradictions, erodes when there's a gap between what organizations say and what they actually do. These “institutional contradictions”, when stated values and real-world behaviour diverge, create confusion and cynicism among citizens and employees alike. In this conversation, Chris explores why such contradictions are so damaging, how they emerge, and what leaders can do to repair the trust that's lost as a result. He refers to striking examples: from the Dutch childcare benefits scandal (het Toeslagenschandaal), where automated systems falsely labeled thousands of families as fraudsters, often targeting those with foreign-sounding names, to the Volkswagen emissions case, Germany's Wirecard collapse, and earlier accounting scandals such as Arthur Andersen. These moments, he argues, are not just technical failures but moral ones: “Institutions must first acknowledge what went wrong, in detail, and explain the logic that led to it. Only then can corrective actions sound credible.” They show how technology, bureaucracy, and misaligned incentives can devastate public trust together. Chris also discusses the fine line between control and trust inside organizations. After Covid, many leaders demanded employees return to the office without consultation, framing control as discipline rather than dialogue. Absolute trust, he insists, grows when people are given a voice and when leaders show vulnerability, asking for people's opinions, and showing how those opinions shape their decisions. From the Tylenol crisis of the 1980s to modern corporate and political scandals, Chris's message is consistent: trust is rebuilt only through visible accountability, transparency, and shared ownership of mistakes.
In questi giorni a guidare le scelte degli operatori finanziari sono soprattutto le trimestrali, ma nelle ultime settimane anche la politica ha avuto un suo peso, a cominciare da quello che è successo in Francia, con la difficoltà di Sebastien Lecornu a formare il governo. Poi ci sono le reiterate iniziative di Trump che ogni giorno prova a disturbare i mercati, che sembrano però più interessati a guardare i (pochi) dati economici che arrivano per capire le prossime mosse della banca centrale.Gli Usa rimangono sempre il centro di ogni interesse, ma a ben guardare movimenti interessanti li vediamo tra i mercati azionari europei, ancora in rally a settembre per il terzo mese consecutivo.Sta cambiando il baricentro degli investimenti mondiali?Li stiamo riportando tutti nel vecchio continente?Parte da queste riflessioni la conversazione con Alessandro Tentori, Capo degli investimenti per l'Europa di AXA Investment Managers.In apertura di puntata viene a trovarci il collega Andrea Franceschi de Il Sole 24 ORE, che ci presenta la seconda serie del suo podcast Squali che racconterà, in otto episodi, la storia del più clamoroso scandalo finanziario della storia europea recente: il caso Wirecard.

On this episode of Screw It Just DO It I sit down with Boris Diakonov and Eduard Panteleev, the co-founders of ANNA Money, the UK-based business account built to make life easier for small business owners. ANNA combines finance, admin and tax tools in one AI-powered platform, complete with its trademark humour and cat logo. In this conversation we cover the “screw it” moment that pushed them to launch, how they chose the UK market despite being newcomers, and what it took to overcome major setbacks like the Wirecard crisis. We also explore how ANNA grew to 50,000 customers, nearly £30 million in annual recurring revenue, and an 80% gross margin. This is a real look at scaling a fintech startup, balancing co-founder dynamics, and keeping customers front and centre.Key Takeaways:Why the UK market was the right place to launch ANNA despite early fearsHow a bold brand identity helped them stand out in a crowded sectorLessons from surviving the Wirecard collapse and keeping customers onsideThe importance of listening, adapting and maintaining trust as co-foundersHow ANNA scaled to £30m ARR and what that means for the future of small business finance

Der Ex-Wirecard-Manager hält sich wohl in Moskau auf. Wie gefährlich ist Marsalek?
Am Montag hat sich der US-amerikanische Fernsehmoderator Jimmy Kimmel in seiner Satiresendung zum Mord an Charlie Kirk geäussert. Jetzt hat der Fernsehsender ABC seine Show «auf unbestimmte Zeit» pausiert. Knickt ABC damit vor der Trump-Regierung ein? Weitere Themen: · Die dänische Regierung will Grönland auf dem Weg zur Unabhängigkeit unterstützen - und hat dafür erstmals auch Gelder angekündigt. Inwiefern hängt diese Ankündigung mit Donald Trumps Interesse an Grönland zusammen? · Jan Marsalek gilt als Drahtzieher hinter einem der schwersten Wirtschaftskriminalfälle in der Deutschen Geschichte: dem Fall des Finanzdienstleisters Wirecard. Seit der Insolvenz von Wirecard ist Marsalek untergetaucht. Doch nun hat ein Teams von Journalistinnen und Journalisten den flüchtigen Marsalek in Moskau aufgespürt. Einer von ihnen erklärt, wie das geklappt hat. · Die offene Drogenszene in der Stadt Zürich ist über die Sommermonate gewachsen. Das hat die Stadt diese Woche in einer Medienkonferenz erklärt. Wir haben gefragt, was man von dieser Situation in den Konsumräumen der Stadt merkt.
We are joined by Pav Gill, formerly of Wirecard and perhaps the most famous whistle-blower on the planet. Despite serious risk to Pav's physical well-being and his professional reputation, he made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on the issues he was seeing within Wirecard. During our "CSI Chat" with Pav, we talk to him about: - His decision-making process to originally join Wirecard as legal counsel and how long it took him to realize that there may be serious issues within the Company. - What were some of the issues he was seeing within Wirecard and why didn't anyone listen to his concerns? - At one point, Pav was instructed by his superiors at Wirecard to travel to another country for a "business trip". Pav later realized that if he decided to hop on the plane, it would be a "one way trip". Pav explains. I hope everyone enjoys the "Chat" with Pav!

Pav Gill, ex-APAC Head of Legal at Wirecard, joins Jeremy Au to share how he uncovered one of the largest financial frauds in Europe. They discuss Pav's early career shift from traditional law to fintech, the moment red flags at Wirecard became undeniable, and how an internal whistleblower's plea led him to launch a covert investigation. Pav reveals how management retaliation escalated into threats, fake HR cases, and even potential physical harm. With support from his mother, he connected with investigative journalists, leading to Financial Times exposés and Wirecard's collapse. Pav reflects on the limits of legal privilege, the challenges of systemic fraud, and how founding his governance startup, Confide, helps companies act on misconduct before it spirals. 03:00 Pav joined Wirecard for Fintech exposure: He left a low-paid legal role at GoBear and was attracted by Wirecard's billion-dollar scale and regional autonomy. 07:00 Subsidiary financials didn't match reported earnings: Pav noticed Asia's books were consistently late, loss-making, and inconsistent with group-level EBITDA claims. 08:15 A junior employee blew the whistle to Pav: She feared for her life and refused to carry out forged transaction requests, trusting him as a neutral legal party. 13:00 Pav found fake invoices and logos in inboxes: Wirecard staff had blatantly doctored client documents—indicating round-tripping and money laundering. 17:30 Management shut down the investigation and targeted him: Pav faced office intimidation, HR setups, and was asked to travel to Jakarta under suspicious pretext. 33:35 Pav's mother connected him to journalists: She contacted Clare Rewcastle Brown, who referred them to the Financial Times and helped spark public investigations.

A “sophisticated” UK-based spy ring passed secrets to Russia for nearly three years before they were prosecuted. It was revealed that the ring leader, a man named Orlin Roussev, had exchanged messages with a mysterious man code named ‘Rupert Ticz'. The prosecutors revealed that the man was in fact Jan Marsalek, the fugitive ex-Wirecard chief operating officer, who is wanted in connection with a €1.9bn (£1.57bn) banking fraud. For almost three years, he had gathered information on targets across Europe, planning kidnappings, murders and assaults alongside the spy ring.In the third instalment of The Daily T Investigates: The Tech Boss Who Was Russia's Secret Spy, Hayley Dixon reveals the messages that were sent by Marsalek and uncover what he has been up to since he went on the run since June 2020.Reporter: Hayley Dixon Producer: Georgia CoanExecutive Producers: Adélie Pojzman-Pontay and Louisa Wells Original music by John Cadigan Hosted on Acast.

A UK-based spy ring of Bulgarian nationals has been found guilty of espionage at the Old Bailey after a three-month trial. For almost three years, they'd been spying for Russia. But the man believed to be behind it all is still on the run. Jan Marsalek was an Austrian tech boss, Chief Operating Officer of a successful payments processing company called Wirecard. Until it collapsed in 2020 amid a massive fraud scandal Marsalek is alleged to have been the mastermind behind. Just days later, he fled Austria, taking a flight to Belarus. Despite international efforts to locate him, Marsalek's precise whereabouts remain uncertain. In a new three-part series for The Daily T, hosted by Special Correspondent Hayley Dixon, we reveal his double life as a spy for the Kremlin and what he's been up to since he disappeared.Reporter: Hayley Dixon Producer: Georgia CoanExecutive Producers: Adélie Pojzman-Pontay and Louisa Wells Original music by John Cadigan Hosted on Acast.

Dan McCrum investigated a story at Wirecard that had him fearing for his safety.British journalist Dan McCrum usually writes about businesses for the London-based newspaper, the Financial Times. In 2014 he got a tip off alleging there were so-called gangsters behind a much-feted German company called Wirecard. The company had started small, taking care of the technical part of processing online payments. But by the time Dan starting looking into it, it was entering the big league. And what he discovered took him into unchartered territory: of international spies, underworld deals and fraud on a massive scale.The chief executive Markus Braun was arrested in 2020 and is now on trial in Germany. He denies all charges against him and says he himself was deceived. At the request of Germany, Interpol issued a red notice for the arrest of Wirecard's former Chief Operating Officer, Jan Marsalek. He is believed to have fled to Russia.Dan's written a book about his investigation called Money Men: A Hot Startup, A Billion Dollar Fraud, A Fight for the Truth.Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Jo Impey Editor: Munazza KhanGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784
