Wirecard ex-CEO Markus Braun is arrested in Germany days after the company revealed a $2 billion accounting hole

Munich city prosecutors said he was arrested late Monday on suspicion of presenting false information. It was a swift turn of events for Mr. Braun, who was Wirecard’s largest shareholder and served as CEO for nearly two decades until he resigned last Friday.
