Well....this gets interesting.
ARD (public TV, Channel One) went and talked about this search warrant that occurred today.
General facts? Koln Prosecutor signed off for a search at WDR (public TV network for NW) and SZ (Süddeutscher Zeitung newspaper). This included private apartments/homes in the Hamburg area. All of this involves the 'cum-ex' tax avoidance gimmick.
Political groups involved? Well....it looks like some SPD folks from Hamburg knew of various things going on. This leads to the idea that a Hamburg bank (Warburg) handled around 40-to-50 million Euro.
Will this lead back to the former mayor of Hamburg (Scholz)? No one is saying that.
At the pace of things, I'd expect this to be a major event by summer of 2022, with forty-odd people who either engineered the situation or just sat there and watched it occur without reacting.
