The decision to pursue a full inquiry came after a series of hearings of the Bundestag’s finance committee, which spent hours grilling Mr Scholz and economy minister Peter Altmaier.
“Over several months, the government has not succeeded in comprehensively and thoroughly clearing up the Wirecard scandal, despite special sessions [of the finance committee], parliamentary questions and lots of opportunities,” said Danyal Bayaz, a Green MP. “There are still a lot of questions and inconsistencies. That’s why we need an investigative committee, with a clear mission.”
