Farewell to the top: Why Cum-Ex chief investigator surprisingly throws down

Germany's leading investigator in the Cum-Exskandal, Anne Brorhilker, surprisingly announced her resignation from the civil service. Brorhilker, who was considered an expert in her area, leaves the investigative authorities to continue to devote themselves to the fight against financial crime. In a farewell statement she expressed sharp criticism of the judiciary.

Anne Brorhilker played an important role in the first Cum-Ex penitation process at the Bonn district court in autumn 2019. Due to her expertise and her intensive work, she contributed significantly to uncovering and pursuing highly complex cases of tax fraud. Your sudden resignation is therefore surprising and raises questions about the reasons behind your decision.

The financial world and the authorities lose an important personality in the fight against economic crime with the departure of Anne Brorhilker. Their commitment and competence will leave a gap that will be difficult to fill by other experts. Brorhilker leaves a legacy in the field of financial investigations, which will continue to have an impact after its farewell.
