LOS ANGELES, Feb. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Schall Law Firm , a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces that it is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Wirecard AG (“Wirecard” or “the Company”) (OTC: WCAGY , WRCDF ) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The investigation focuses on whether the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose information pertinent to investors. The Financial Times reported on January 30, 2019, that a Wirecard executive was suspected of using forged contracts to complete suspicious transactions. The Times followed this report up with a second article on February 1, 2019, which alleged that a law firm hired by Wirecard discovered “serious offenses of forgery and/or of falsification of accounts.” Based on this news, shares of Wirecard fell almost 20%.
