    Merkel must have known about CumEx. It’s just not associated with her.

    If everybody but the king is corrupt then questions should be asked.

    Still, I would prefer Merkel over most politicians to become the next chancellor again.

      Right. Wikipedia says the Bundesfinanzministerium was aware of CumEx trade since 2002…

        Looking at some of the articles and Wikipedia pages, they were even aware as early as 1992 based on whistle blower reporting?

        And if I read this right, all that came from this is a 3.5y slap on the wrist for one individual?!
