BaFin Executive Fired Over Wirecard Scandal!

BaFin tamir - November 5, 2022

German regulator BaFin is parting ways with its executive director Beatrice Freiwald after a months-long legal dispute. The German government decided that she has to resign from BaFin's board of directors, the authority announced recently. The Wirecard investigation committee harshly criticized Freiwald. She was responsible for BaFin's whistleblower unit, which did not adequately follow up on information from whistleblowers about Wirecard.
