Jan Marsalek, rose from being a technology nerd to becoming the face of a supposed high-tech corporation: Wirecard. Once a German model company, until the web of lies collapsed. What remained: suspicion of serious crimes, lobbying all the way to the Chancellery and 1.9 billion euros missing. And Jan Marsalek? He could no longer be found and is said to have fled to Russia. Now joint research by frontal, DER SPIEGEL, the Austrian newspaper Der Standard and the Russian investigative platform The Insider has revealed that the former Wirecard board member Jan Marsalek, who fled to Russia, disguised himself as a priest and probably worked for the Russian secret services for years. From a business crime thriller to a spy thriller - enough material for a blockbuster. _______________ Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:30 The spy ring 05:23 Jan Marsalek's secret service contacts 08:00 Where is Europe's most wanted man? 10:39 Jan Marsalek's entourage 14:13 The investigation 16:44 Outro _______________ Further links: Was Jan Marsalek a Russian spy? ➡️ https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten-sendun...
