BaFin claims Wirecard had been the target of repeated short attacks.

德国联邦金融监管局宣称Wirecard是“卖空攻击”的目标。

This is the first time BaFin has used the measure to protect a single company.

这是德国联邦金融监管局首次采取措施保护一家公司。

As allegations of accounting fraud mounted, why did BaFin, the German financial regulator, not investigate the claims against Wirecard?

随着会计欺诈指控的增多，德国金融监管机构 BaFin 为什么不调查针对 Wirecard 的指控？

BaFin, along with the European and German central banks, also considered Wirecard a technology company even though it owned a bank.

BaFin 以及欧洲和德国中央银行也将 Wirecard 视为一家科技公司，尽管它拥有一家银行。

Unlike regulators in other countries, BaFin doesn’t have the power to bring criminal charges or the oversight to investigate potential accounting malpractice.

与其他国家的监管机构不同，BaFin 无权提起刑事指控或监督调查潜在的会计舞弊行为。

German politicians have questioned that decision as BaFin, the local government, Munich prosecutors and the country’s accountancy watchdog FREP have tried to shift blame for the fallout.

德国政界人士质疑这一决定，因为 BaFin、地方政府、慕尼黑检察官和该国的会计监管机构 FREP 试图推卸责任。
