This is the first time that a large consultancy company and a bank are being prosecuted for fraud with a so-called cash box company.
Belgian Ernst & Young Registered Auditors, its subsidiaries E&Y Fiduciary, E&Y Special Business Services and E&Y Tax Consultants are being taken to court. Deutsche Bank and ING Luxembourg are facing the same fate.
