Why are they "super corrupt?" That would be criminal, would it not be?
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoIt would be criminal if the German government would bother to prosecute, but Germany's government is much better at protecting local corporate corruption than prosecuting it (Wirecard).
- t_mann 4y agoThe German government doesn't prosecute in general, independent state prosecutors do.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSure, but those are still government institutions, not some rogue, privately run, independent institutions.
- t_mann 4y agoThey're public institutions, but independent from the government. Separation of powers is important.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoThey're still heavily politicly influenced and open to corruption. Otherwise BaFin would have investigated Wirecard.
- okr 4y agoReads very conspiratorial to my eyes, sorry. And since the government consists now of representants of 3 different parties, who have an eye on everything that the other one is doing, i would imply, that conspiring together to protect something is not an easy thing to do. Some things just take time, i guess.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoOk, if we're being pedantic, I meant German Government Institutions, like BaFin for example, are into protecting local corporate corruption. But BaFin is not some rogue organization, it's still a reflection of the German Government itself, regardless of which parties are/were in power. And I don't know how you can claim it's conspiratorial when literally the whole world knows about the Wirecard scandal.
- ianai 4y agoIt’s a stretch to say the whole world knows of that scandal.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoAnd that absolves the corruption how exactly?
