Czech activist builds €5m Wirecard stake

Czech investment firm, which tripled its stake in struggling Swiss manager GAM over the summer, offers support to another embattled brand

Krupa Global Investments has increased its stake in German payments group Wirecard. This is the second time the Czech Republic-based activist fund has upped its exposure to a company during a time of turmoil.

Wirecard has found itself at the centre of allegations about its accounting practices in Asia — allegations it has denied. Its share price has fallen by more than 9% this year.
