Wirecard AG’s headquarters were searched Friday morning by German prosecutors as part of a probe involving the company’s senior management.

“The investigations are not targeting the company, but members of the management board,” Wirecard said in a statement. “The management board is confident that the issue will be resolved and the allegations prove unfounded.”
