Dusseldorf The process of the century for the Wirecard scandal begins on December 8th. For the Handelsblatt, Wirecard became one of the most complex and intensive research projects in its history.

To prepare for the process, starting today, we’re presenting one of our most exciting articles every day. Read here how the last 48 hours went at Wirecard.

Almost two billion euros are missing, but the secretary of Wirecard CEO Markus Braun sets her own priorities. Two large flower bouquets with green, white and pink hydrangeas had to be ordered.
