Regarding the Wulff affair itself, the press has now unearthed that Wulff used to be a partner with the lawyer group who represented Geerkens in multiple cases, last time in 2004. Geerkens also provided the offices of this group until 2007. Wulff's contract as a freelancing partner of the group was only dissolved last year; the lawyer group claims that while Wulff's name was still on their letterhead Wulff didn't actively work with them since 1994.
This is important because it's another tidbit Wulff omitted when questioned by the Lower Saxon State Parliament about past business relations with Geerkens.
The case regarding the credit Wulff took out with bwBank after switching off of Geerken's private credit - and the favourable conditions Wulff received - will probably soon be taken up again for criminal proceedings. The Stuttgart district attorney office' closing of the case was answered with two separate formal complaints, so their superiors in the state judicial structure are currently deciding whether to reopen the case. In this case officials of bwBank are accused of misappropriation while Wulff is accused of (effectively) corruption.
