In an ongoing trial, Vijaya Sankar (former employee at Duet Group, Asset Manager) organised Cum-Ex deals in 2010 for a €11 billion investment fund (Varengold Wertpapierhandelsbank AG), a strategy that claimed $100 million of refunds on tax, taking advantage of a Germany dividend tax loophole. In 2022 October, Germany police raided Germany’s largest bank Deutsche Bank headquarters & homes of employees including former co-CEO (Juergen Fitschen) for investigation in a multi-billion tax fraud, with billions of government revenues siphoned. Germany Cologne Prosecutors: “More than 114 police and tax inspectors took part in the raids.” The tax fraud involves declaring non-existing stock dividend and requested for Germany government to reimburse taxes that were never paid in the first place. Since 2017, the Cologne Public Prosecutor’s Office had been conducting the tax fraud investigation, including with more than 70 current & former Deutsche Bank employees. In 2021, the Germany highest court had ruled the transactions illegal. More info below.
