Marcus Brown, former CEO of Wirecard, was arrested following a scandal involving a missing €1.9 billion. The Munich prosecutors confirmed the arrest, and Danny Berger provided further details, including Brown's potential involvement in sales manipulation. Wirecard's financial troubles have been escalating, with the company unable to release its earnings report due to the missing funds.
