Interpol red notice issued against ex-Wirecard Asia vice president who fled Singapore

Both the Interpol red notice and arrest warrant were issued against Edo for allegedly engaging in conspiracies with the four men to commit criminal breach of trust in siphoning between S$41,200 to S$100,000 from Wirecard Asia between May and December 2018.

Edo is also suspected of abetting Yeo to falsify invoices totalling S$184,870 from Jacobson Fareast to Wirecard Asia, and acquiring benefits from criminal conduct from the alleged conspiracies.

He also allegedly abetted Wardhana and See to transfer S$159,250 of benefits from criminal conduct to people within Singapore.

So far, seven men in Singapore have been charged in connection to the Wirecard case, which was sparked by the company’s collapse in June 2020 after its auditor could not verify €1.9 billion (S$2.7 billion) supposedly held abroad in escrow by third-party partners, and subsequently refused to sign off on 2019 accounts.

Several Wirecard executives, including former chief executive Markus Braun, have been arrested on fraud charges.

Anyone with information on Edo’s whereabouts is requested to call the police hotline on 1800-255-0000 (or +65 6255 0000 for overseas callers) or submit information online. All information received will be kept strictly confidential, said the Singapore police.
