MANILA, Philippines — The National Bureau of Investigation and the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) are investigating a law firm and a tour operator connected to the fraud-hit German financial services firm Wirecard AG.
“The NBI, together with the AMLC, has been looking into the financial transactions of a law office and a tour operator linked with the local operations of Wirecard in the Philippines,” Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said on Sunday.
Three employees of the Bureau of Immigration have been suspended for tampering with the records of fugitive Jan Marsalek, former Wirecard chief operating officer. Guevarra said the three were found to have connived with Marsalek.
