Start of Wirecard class action

The Capital Investor Model Case (KAPMuG) in the Wirecard matter against Ernst & Young, Dr. Markus Braun et al. has been opened.

On March 13, 2023, the Bayerische Oberste Landgericht appointed Dipl.-Kfm. Kurt Ebert (represented by MATTIL) as the leading plaintiff in the Wirecard model proceedings pursuant to Section 9 KapMuG.

The representative of the plaintiff will be law firm MATTIL, Munich, which represents a large number of affected investors.

Law firm MATTIL has already successfully conducted several proceedings under the KApMuG, including KAP 1/07 and disposes of major experience.

The leading plaintiff acquired securities of Wirecard AG in reliance on the attestations of the defendant Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungs GmbH and the alleged success story of Wirecard AG and suffered considerable damage in the process. In the test case, all circumstances justifying a claim for damages will now be examined and uniformly decided on the basis of his case as an example.

Injured investors of Wirecard AG have six months from the publication of the decision in the Federal Gazette to file their claims in the model proceedings at affordable cost.

18.11.2020

Attention: The liquidator has indicated in the creditors meeting on 18.11. that many claims have been filed invalidly and void, when requirements of formality and reasoning were not met. A unsufficient lodging of a claim does not stop a running limitation !
Better take advice of MATTIL in order to avoid further damages.

11.09.2020


Many of the victims of Wirecard are not bond or share holders, but had purchased structured products as Bonds of other issuers with underlying Wirecard, cerificates, warrants and others.
 
Is there a way to claim compensation for these losses as well ? Law Firm Mattil is convinced that we can include those claimants in our collective action against Wirecard Management, Supervisory board, EY and Moodys, maybe more responsibles. Our claim is based on a special german regulation that punishes not only a fraud committed to individuals but to the public. § 264 a STGB ( penal code ) condemns all responsible offenders to compensation for losses that have evoked from misleading prospectus, false public information etc.
 
For further questions please revert to us at any time.

Wirecard AG's insolvency proceedings have been opened and the deadline for filing claims has been set at October 26.
Many shareholders think that their losses are subordinate or cannot be registered at all. This is not correct. Shareholders can also assert claims, despite Section 57 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), if they can prove that they have suffered damages in tort (fraud) or violation of capital market regulations. The filing of a claim must be accompanied by a statement of reasons. 

The registration of the claims against the insolvency administrator is carried out for you by the law firm MATTIL.

Your claims

What claims can you raise assert against Wirecard?

During the insolvency proceedings you can file your claims and hope that there will be a certain quota left for you. Insolvency proceedings rarely last less than 10 years, so the final loss can only then be quantified. We have seen insolvency proceedings that lasted 14 years and resulted in a quota of zero for the investors. The problem: claims for damages against the management, initiators, founders, auditors, etc. are subject to a limitation period of 3 years from the time when the breach of duty becomes known (i.e. usually from the time of insolvency). These 3 years pass quickly.

Claims for damages may be asserted against persons who founded or managed the company or supported and confirmed its business activities, e.g. by auditions. We will examine the prerequisites and prospects of success of a liability for you and, if applicable, enforce it.

Liability of Supervisory Board and other controlling bodies

Where supervisory boards and other controlling bodies are in place, the extent to which they are subject to liability as additional responsible persons with controlling and monitoring duties shall be examined. MATTIÖL examines to what extent the investor is entitled to direct claims for damages against this group of persons.

MATTIL is also reviewing claims for damages against the auditors of Wirecard AG, who issued an unqualified audit certificate for 2018 in Apr 2019. At that time, press reports about manipulations and fictitious sales were already reported. The law firm MATTIL has repeatedly and successfully sued auditors in other scandal cases.

Claims for damages may also exist against supervisory boards which also have a far-reaching supervisory duty (e.g. OLG Düsseldorf I-9 U 14/08). We will take our time to thoroughly examine these claims and, as soon as sufficient evidence is available, pursue them.

In many comparable cases, we have successfully enforced claims for damages, e.g. against auditors, trustees, managing directors and founders of capital investment models. Also the first successful capital investor sample procedure after the KapMuG was led by the Kanzlei MATTIL (KAP1/07 of 30.12.2011).
