Asoka Woehrmann(Bloomberg) -- German prosecutors dropped their criminal investigation into ex-DWS Group Chief Executive Officer Asoka Woehrmann over greenwashing allegations at the investment arm of the Deutsche Bank AG. The probe closed on Tuesday with the consent of a local court, Frankfurt prosecutors said in an emailed statement. Since Woehrmann has no criminal record and is no longer working in the capital market sector there was no public interest in continuing the case, they said.

Die Staatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt am Main hat ihr Ermittlungsverfahren gegen den ehemaligen DWS-Group-Chef Asoka Wöhrmann wegen des Vorwurfs des Greenwashings beim Vermögensverwalter der Deutschen Bank eingestellt. Die Ermittlungen seien am Dienstag mit Zustimmung des Gerichts eingestellt worden, teilte ein Sprecher der Behörde mit. Wöhrmann sei nicht vorbestraft und arbeite nicht mehr im Bereich Capital Markets, so dass das öffentliche Interesse, die Sache weiter zu verfolgen, wegfalle, hieß es.

Kai-Uwe Steck, a star witness who exposed the inner workings of the Cum-Ex scandal, was convicted and sentenced to a suspended jail term of one year and 10 months for his own role in the tax scheme. Steck was guilty of involvement related to more than €428 million ($488 million) in losses to the German tax authorities, the Bonn Regional Court ruled on Tuesday. Because of his key part in exposing the scam, he can be spared jail, Presiding Judge Sebastian Hausen said when delivering the verdict.
