What's next in the Wirecard case?

The article discusses the ongoing insolvency proceedings of Wirecard, one of Germany's largest financial companies, which was involved in a major accounting scandal. As of June 30, 2026, over 54,000 claims were registered, with more than 20.7 billion euros in total claimed amounts. However, only 1.79 billion euros were recognized, while around 8.95 billion euros were disputed. The available assets in the insolvency estate amount to approximately 650 million euros. This has significant implications for former shareholders, who now face uncertain prospects due to legal rulings that place their claims behind those of banks. Additionally, the collective litigation against auditing firm EY continues, with over 700 million euros in potential damages sought by institutional and individual investors.
