The law firm representing Wirecard AG in legal proceedings
against British daily Financial Times said in a statement dated
Feb. 18 that a hearing initially scheduled for Jan. 27 was delayed
at its request.
Bub Memminger & Partner said a Munich court postponed the
hearing because "it was not possible to inspect the file of the
public prosecutor's investigation, running in parallel, against
employees of Financial Times Ltd. and other individuals until the
date of the oral hearing."
Wirecard confirmed Feb. 17 that legal proceedings against the
newspaper would go ahead.
The German payment company has been at loggerheads with the
Financial Times following a series of reports in the British
newspaper that alleged accounting impropriety at Wirecard.
