The Düsseldorf public prosecutor's office has been investigating Centrum chief Uwe Reppegather for longer than previously known over suspicions he withdrew millions via loans.
The proceedings target Reppegather and other executives of the project developer. At the center is an office building at Landsberger Allee 50-52 in Berlin.
The 16,000-square-meter property features a green roof terrace, a platinum sustainability certificate and a long-term lease with the Jobcenter. Employees of the Düsseldorf-based Centrum Group had previously celebrated the project as a success.
The suspicion is that Reppegather withdrew millions from an asset company via loans before its insolvency.
