Wirecard fraudster Jan Marsalek has apparently found refuge in Russia and resides in a secure wealthy enclave - with all the amenities on site.

Moscow – The Wirecard* scandal is considered one of the biggest cases of fraud in German economic history.

While ex-Wirecard boss Markus Braun* now has to answer for it in court, his former board colleague Jan Marsalek* went into hiding.

Since the fraud became public, Marsalek has disappeared without a trace - or has he?

Wirecard scandal: Jan Marsalek went into hiding in Russia

Just over a week ago,

Bild reported

that the ex-board member had gone into hiding in Russia.

There he was under the "care" of the Russian secret service FSB.

In fact, the FSB even offered the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) a survey.

But the Federal Chancellery and the BND headquarters left the offer unanswered.

But where exactly is Marsalek?

Not only the German authorities are asking this question, but also the public prosecutor's office.

The

now wants to have found out where in Russia Marsalek found shelter.

The scammer may be hiding in a luxury area.

25 kilometers from the Kremlin, on the outskirts of Moscow, there is a secure residential area.

The corresponding access is blocked by a barrier.

You can only get in if you show the security staff a pass.

The Wirecard fraudster Jan Marsalek has been wanted since mid-2020 - now there is a hot lead.

Wirecard scandal: ex-board member lives in luxury area

Aerial photos of the neighborhood show several luxury properties hidden behind the barrier.

The photos from the

Bild

newspaper show a large, well-kept green area with several large houses.

Also: A combined basketball court and tennis court and a large pond.

However, it has not been proven whether Marsalek is actually staying there or has been stopped there.

However, according to the report, the responsible public prosecutor's office in Munich is now said to have had access to BND documents.

The

reports, citing government circles, that the Munich public prosecutor's office sent a so-called arrest request to the Kremlin before Easter.

Marsalek is to be tried in Munich.
