German Greens warn against job cuts for federal auditors amid tax fraud investigations

In Germany, the Greens in the Bundestag are alarmed by proposed job cuts for federal auditors. They argue that this move could impede the investigation of complex tax fraud cases involving Cum-Ex and Cum-Cum transactions, which have cost the state billions. Katharina Beck, a spokesperson for the Greens, highlighted that each auditor contributes significantly to state revenue, making the cuts financially counterproductive.
