Cum-Ex scandal: "You feel like you're in a frenzy"

Hanno Berger, a key figure in the Cum-Ex scandal, has spoken out for the first time since his imprisonment. He maintains his innocence and claims there was a loophole in the law.

The Cum-Ex scandal, Germany's largest tax scandal, has been under investigation for fourteen years and involves around 1,800 suspects, with only 40 charged and 24 convicted so far.

Berger's case highlights the weaknesses of the German tax system and the need to combat tax fraud, affecting many with its ongoing investigation and uncertain outcomes.
