A life under a false nameSince his spectacular escape from Germany in June 2020, shortly after the insolvency of the former DAX-listed company Wirecard, Marsalek has been wanted internationally. According to research by DerStandard, Marsalek's cell phone was located more than 300 times between January and November 2024 near the FSB headquarters on Lubyanka Square. A photo obtained by Der Spiegel shows Marsalek in military uniform with the Russian war symbol “Z” on his uniform, fueling speculation about a possible combat mission. The German authorities have submitted a request for legal assistance to Moscow, but the Russian authorities officially deny knowing Marsalek's whereabouts.
