March 26, 2008 (LPAC)--The collapse of a dubious German investment fund named Securenta has raised politically explosive questions in that nation. Securenta is the holding company which controls Goettinger Gruppe, which defaulted in the summer of 2007, and numerous prominent politicians had served as endorsers of the two funds, whose failures cost some 450,000 Germans nearly a billion and a half euros. Germany has been rocked by financial scandals lately, including an investigation into tax fraud involving prominent Germans and a well-connected bank in the tax-haven Principality of Liechtenstein.
