Another Wirecard hearing day today. Former prosecutor Heinen, who has been responsible for Wirecard since 2020 and was recently appointed as a judge at the Munich Regional Court, will be questioned all day.

The presiding Wirecard judge goes through the minutes of the hearing of Oliver Bellenhaus with Hildegard Bäumler-Hösl in the premises of the public prosecutor's office on 15 March 2020, paragraph by paragraph.7.2020 and later from 10.8.2020, first asks Heinen and then reads the passage in the minutes.

Former public prosecutor Heinen, who was recently appointed as a judge at the very same Munich Regional Court that is dealing with the Wirecard court proceedings here, has thus followed exactly the same career path as the presiding Wirecard judge Födisch, who is now questioning Heinen here in a kind of default echo chamber ping-pong game for two days over many, many hours without defense lawyers or others being allowed to ask questions.

Ex-prosecutor Heinen remembers even the smallest, most atomic details of the Wirecard questioning of Oliver Bellenhaus, even after several hours of questioning here after 4 1/2 years, which indicates that he was amply prepared for his questioning.

Heinen's two most important colleagues from the Munich public prosecutor's office sit just as attentively during the two days, intervening verbally a few times and protecting their colleague from overly intrusive questions from their former colleague and now presiding Wirecard judge Födisch.

The minutes of the Munich court of July 15, 2020, and the minutes of August 10, 2020, one month later, are probably the most important documents of the entire Wirecard proceedings.

Oliver Bellenhaus came to the public prosecutor's office in prisoner's clothing, visibly "marked" after his first few days in custody, and offered to make a comprehensive confession.

What was set out in the two documents is still vehemently defended by the Wirecard prosecutors like a dogmatic fortress - sometimes by shouting wildly over the court microphone at serious challenges.

The perfidiousness of this judicial and theatrical game of ping-pong between the two former Wirecard prosecutors and now regional court judges is evident in many places.

For example, there is a passage in the minutes in which Oliver Bellenhaus states that, quote, "no, no, this was financed by profitable divisions of the company".

The presiding judge immediately jumps in and explains into the microphone, ironically skating over these facts, "whereby he (OB) should have asked himself which areas did not generate any turnover", immediately moving on to the next paragraph so as not to have to investigate these statements any further.

The colleague ex-prosecutor and now colleague district court judge Födisch continues to ask, first summarizing the next paragraph with two key words, whether Heinen "can remember" any Wirecard facts of the following protocol paragraph in general.

Heinen can recall almost every paragraph of three or four sentences throughout the two days of questioning, which was interrupted by CCBill's Jacob Powers on Wednesday afternoon.

In another cognitively dissonant colleague interrogation ping-pong, the presiding Wirecard judge states that "EY had been deceived".

He refers to a paragraph of the minutes of July 15, 2020, in which Oliver Bellenhaus explains that no real-time transaction data was used for one of the EY audits, but so-called "batch transactions", which were presented with a time delay in the full knowledge of EY(!).

EY not only agreed with this, but also with the following screenshots.

The interrogation of Oliver Bellenhaus in prisoner clothing from 15. Incidentally, the proceedings began on July 1, 2020 with the following statements by the Wirecard public prosecutor responsible at the time, Hildegard Bäumler-Hösl:

"Don't worry, we have also already DONE(!) the Siemens proceedings in the department here".

In addition to many other discrepancies, which were kindly excluded or ignored with Wirecard-like elegance, the presiding judge actually briefly threw an FIU report from July 15, 2020 - the exact same day of the hearing - onto the court projector at the end of Heinen's hearing on Thursday afternoon.

This concerned Oliver Bellenhaus' Levantine Foundation in Luxembourg, where money laundering transactions were flagged.

However, the judge only shows the upper part of this FIU report, which was addressed to the Criminal Investigation Department 72 in Munich.

By scrolling down the screen for a microsecond and then quickly scrolling up again, it becomes very briefly apparent that it was also sent to the Munich public prosecutor's office.

This fact is passed over with a mumbling subordinate clause, Heinen and his public prosecutors in Munich have "somehow filed away" this FIU report.
