Singapore’s financial regulators are working with local police to scrutinize aspects of the case surrounding Wirecard AG, the scandal-ridden German payments company.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority are collaborating with the Singapore Police Force’s Commercial Affairs Department, which already has an ongoing criminal investigation into Wirecard, the MAS said in a statement late Monday.
