The Munich Wirecard trial involving Markus Braun, Oliver Bellenhaus, and Stephan von Erffa is being watched by a lot of people on Twitter. The private investigator @csfa, who also frequently posts background information about it, is present at the trial. Most recently, he revealed that he had highlighted the responsibilities of former Wirecard director Ruediger Trautmann and Payabl (previously PowerCash21) in an email he provided to the prosecutors. He also introduced some interesting new ventures related to Trautmann and Payabl.
In addition, @cfsa discovered that as of 2016, Payabl—which was still going by the name PowerCash21—was a partner of Miura Systems Limited. The CEO of the PowerPay21 group, which included PowerCash21, was Dietmar Knoechelmann, a co-founder of Payabl and a former top management of Wirecard.
Beyond the three presently charged, the private Wirecard investigator feels that more former managers ought to be involved in the Munich trial. He mentions, for instance, OVAL (2123) LIMITED, a business in which Stephan von Erffa, one of the defendants, served as a director. But Ruediger Trautmann and Alexander Herbst, the former CFO of Wirecard, were also involved as directors in this Wirecard shadow organisation firm.
