... that when investigative journalist Dan McCrum published his findings of the Wirecard scandal, he was investigated by German authorities instead of the company? Source: [1]: "The Munich prosecutor has dropped its investigation into two Financial Times journalists, who were accused by the German financial watchdog of potential market manipulation over their reports about accounting irregularities at payments processor Wirecard. The criminal prosecution office in Munich said on Thursday it had “suspended the investigative proceedings” against the two FT journalists after they “did not reveal sufficient evidence to support the suspicious facts” raised by BaFin, the German watchdog."

Created by Juxlos (talk). Self-nominated at 10:09, 3 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Dan McCrum; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The article was made the same day it was nominated, so is new enough. It is more than long enough and reads neutrally with proper in-line citations. The hook is short enough, interesting, and cited in-line. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. The copyvio detector found no issues. Everything looks good to go!

Not convinced that the second half of the hook is clear. But will promote and other eyes may see it another way. Bruxton (talk) 14:46, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
