SINGAPORE: The Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Friday (Feb 17) said that it has yet to receive any extradition request from German authorities in relation to investigations surrounding the Wirecard
“The extradition of persons from Singapore is governed by our Extradition Act,” said SPF in response to media queries.
In its statement, SPF said that it would like to “clarify on erroneous perceptions on Singapore’s handling of the Wirecard investigations”. SPF added that it has been working with the German authorities on this case since mid-July 2020 and has provided various forms of assistance to advance their investigations, even as SPF continues its own investigations and legal cases in Singapore.
“The Wirecard case spans several entities and transactions, and a range of possible offences. On Singapore’s part, the first criminal prosecutions arising from the Singapore Wirecard-related investigation commenced on Jul 4, 2020, nine days after Wirecard AG announced that it was filing for insolvency,” said the statement.
