De Masi's Book Exposes German Political Complicity in Financial Scandals
Fabio De Masi, leader of the BSW party, has published a book titled "Geld, Macht, Verbrechen" (Money, Power, Crime) that scrutinizes the entanglement of German politicians in financial scandals. The work details how real-life espionage threats endanger German security, alleging that politicians not only looked away but actively participated. Key topics include Cum-Ex/Cum-Cum tax fraud, money laundering, pornography, gambling, Russian oligarchs, and the Wirecard scandal. De Masi portrays himself as a David fighting Goliath, though his rhetoric is occasionally heavy-handed. The book raises questions about why a former chancellor showed no doubt despite warnings.
