Anne Brorhilker live: „Cum/Ex, Billions und Morality“
Why the fight against economic crime is worthwhile.
Anne Brorhilker live: „Cum/Ex, Milliarden und Moral“
The Bergson Academy presents: Anne Brorhilker

Anne Brorhilker has led the cum/ex investigations with great determination for years as senior public prosecutor at the Cologne public prosecutor's office. Hardly anyone knows the complex interplay between white-collar crime and the justice system as well as she does. On this evening, she will report for the first time on her extraordinary experiences with the financial elite, take a look behind the facades of the big banks and expose the complacency of many tax evaders.

Why did it prove so difficult to clear up the case despite years of investigations and numerous verdicts? Why does the state still find it difficult to reclaim billions - money that is due to honest taxpayers?

Anne Brorhilker is sending a clear signal with her decision to leave the civil service and work for transparency and clarification from within civil society: Commitment to the common good and justice affects us all - and with courage, things can be changed.

One euro per book sold goes to the citizens' movement "Finanzwende e. V.".
