A state prosecutor hunts the tax mafia | DW Documentary

Insiders say it’s like something out of a thriller movie. The players in the "Cum-Ex" tax scandal are powerful bankers, executives, top-tier lawyers, and even, perhaps, German politicians...along with the state prosecutor who’s on their trail.
When the case landed on Cologne prosecutor Anne Brorhilker’s desk, she had no idea she was dealing with the biggest tax heist in German history: Cum-Ex. At this point, no one suspected that over the next eight years, she and her team would plow through tens of thousands of files, conduct worldwide raids and investigate more than 1,000 suspects. Among them were powerful managers, executives at major banks and lawyers at renowned firms. The task seemed impossible, with suspects scattered all over the world and a looming statute of limitations creating a race against time. But in the course of her investigation, Brorhilker exposed how unscrupulous millionaires received billions in reimbursed taxes despite never having paid the taxes in the first place.
Brorhilker's investigation culminated in a legal milestone. In 2020, a court found for the first time that Cum-Ex was illegal. The investigator and her team finally managed to get perpetrators to come clean -- the result of hundreds of hours of interviews with key witnesses. What came to light was something previously associated only with organized crime: an industry with so much power that its crimes could continue unchecked.
The documentary shows the people behind the investigation of the biggest tax scandal in German history, and asks how states can protect public money from unscrupulous financial predators.

Congratulations to the investigating officer: I am amazed that she is still alive and working considering the scale of this crime. Her tenacity and organizational skill is wonderful. However, I have some questions: 1. why are the people in positions of power who effectively squashed the issues not investigated for bribery? It is clearly not a question of following procedure to file away evidence of crimes. 2. Why is the receipt of tax payouts for a tax that has not been paid, not flagged routinely? 3. Why was the initial delivery of documents in Frankfurt harbour not seen as an attempt to cover more incriminating evidence? 4. Will we ever be able to discriminate between legal and morally sound?

She finds cause and attempts to redefine comex as a criminal ring - its a regulatory loophole. A loophole that can be closed with legislative action. Her path of action is wrong because there is no crime and that means she is in it for her own good. What is unfolding is a crimesister trying to steal for the herd she pretends to represent...the bureaucracy. So..we need to simplify banking-, tax-, business-law. This reduces bureaucratic reach which the prosecutor perp trys to extend. Close the tax loophole and fire the female spending millions on a faulty premise. She is ready to jump ship for a million dollar bank job.

Switzerland is the nation that allows all international crooks including corrupt leaders to bank over there interest free. The UK for instance and most European nations are scum, they were created on foundation's of fraud, invasions and thievery of the highest order... The current Covid19 plan-demic is one such fraud where they are taking away human bill of rights so as to put in place totalitarianism and total control by even forcing humans to injected with gene therapy that will lead to mass depopulation...

German state has only one thing it could say to it s citizens...."We learned from the best..."LEHMAN, GOLDMAN SAX,JP.MORGAN CHASE,WARREN CHOMO BUFFET,...."

You and I are watching the circus. The media has a job. The government has a job the lawyer has a job. And they strung it out. Go on TV. Cos how can we have this much technology if indeed it doesn't help all parties to play their position ?....

My local politician has over 100 million dollar net worth and he was always just an MLA from my state ALL of us in the town know about his riches but he has all the officers and civil servants in his hands. No one can even touch him. He stole that money from the people.

This was draining to watch

Vielen Dank für diesen Bericht :-) Wird mir einige Entscheidungen erleichtern, die ich in Zukunft tätigen werde.

[@badsmeb]

politicians should look at whether complex financial transactions cause more trouble than they're worth and possibly ban them.

[@Ruffles2012]

Except they do the same complex transactions to avoid taxes

[@randomdude4110]

Why do you want to just "ban" something? you know banning anything will lead to even MORE attempts on trying to jump past that bam? Drugs are a great example.

[@muhammad-bin-american]

Same story everywhere.

This is like a real-life Blacklist episode! We need this prosecutor in South Africa!

I admire this woman and her teams . For those that say the rich contribute to the economy in different ways than pay taxes the way the masses to ( weekly for the rest of their working lives). Loopholes shouldn’t be one of those ways . Nor should subsidies . They’re going to create a product, that profit is their reward , why should they get so many leg-ups than the ordinary citizen ? But this was a crime and it’s rampant among the richest and most influential, globally. Reducing ordinary people to slaves to a tax system the others never feel the yoke- but treat it like a joke to them. Then actually taking it AWAY from the coffers of the public who paid for that government yoke, for safety, security and services. Via Bankers, who should be scrutinized at all times. And tax laws that should not have loop holes. Tax accountants say the rules change too much- I think that’s to keep us all too confused and just accept it as is. -keep law and taxes simple and clear. So fraud is obvious to all. I admire this lady for her keen intelligence. Shame on those “ buisness men”, tax lawyers, and legislators who clearly allowed this treasonous behavior

[@judymawhorter7301]

And people wonder why theres so many people on streets all over the world,and they the wealthy complained but don't help .just keep taking and taking

[@michaelsweeney4547]

I was hoping they would get around to explaining the actual scam. Less than 15 seconds out of an hour. Something about dividends and capital gains, which of course made no sense.

[@jzk2020]

Just when you thought greedy people couldn't get greedier. Smh... hope they all end up in prison.

[@hobbylos3962]

Actually quite simple, a loophole is a loophole

Bunch of corrupted thieves. 🤬

Good for her.. amazing strength to stick with this. I wish we could accomplish that type of success within every government system.. but it's exhausting work.. her work is very impressive. I'm president of my condo board and just kicked out the old property management company because they'd been screwing thr owners for over 30 yrs. Went through all the files myself (took a full month) and found so much shit they pull but the trouble of taking them to court and fighting against those assholes.. as pissed as I am it's not worth my mental energy to fight them. Rich assholes who steal to gain wealth SUCK 😡🤯

I was waiting for Jason Bourne to pop out

Also see: US Toxic Mortgage Debt Meltdown and the check written by taxpayers to bail out big banking. It is absolutely so tragic it’s almost a comedy.
