Turning point in the criminal trial: Wirecard's ex-chief accountant could make a confession. Von Erffa also wants to make a public statement, probably shortly after Easter.
It is unclear whether there will actually be a confession and how comprehensive it would be. Further negotiations between the defense, the court and the public prosecutor's office are planned, possibly several. The verdict will be announced on September 5th this year in the largest case of economic fraud ever taken place in Germany.
