Wirecard, which lost more than $2 billion and went bankrupt, was also involved in mafia affairs. She helped one of the largest mafias in Europe to launder money through gambling operator CenturionBet.
The investigation showed that Wirecard had been aware of suspicious cases for a long time, they were repeatedly asked to explain dubious agreements with gaming operators. However, no one began to dig to the end to find out what was happening in the company.
It is reported that the UK financial regulator was warned last year about the dubious cases of Wirecard. And Germany was warned about this already three years ago, the same year that the Maltese regulator revoked the license of CenturionBet. And in April of this year, the Chinese authorities fined Allscore Payment Service Co Ltd $1.5 billion for illegal gambling transactions. This company is 80% owned by Wirecard.
According to the findings of the investigation, Wirecard's communication with CenturionBet was limited. But at the time of the signing of the agreement, Wirecard could not have been unaware that CenturionBet was run by the son of a convicted mafia boss, who later went to jail for money laundering and tax evasion through CenturionBet.
