Deutsche Bank AG Co-Chief Executive Officer Juergen Fitschen is seeking to keep prosecutors from filing charges against him. If he fails, he may have to juggle his duties with his defense as his predecessor did a decade ago.
Munich prosecutors are weighing whether to charge the 65-year-old Fitschen with attempted fraud in a legal battle with the heirs of the late Leo Kirch, the man who dominated Germany’s media market for four decades until his group went bankrupt in 2002.
