The searches are part of a German investigation into tax evasion allegations leveled against numerous current and former PwC partners between 2012 and 2017. According to reports, the entire amount of unpaid taxes is €11 million. The defendants, according to the authorities, devised a method in which certain money earned in Germany was reclassified as income from a Swiss subsidiary, allowing for tax avoidance.
The apartments of eight of the company's workers were searched in addition to the company's offices. The operation included the help of 250 police officers, as well as prosecutors and tax authorities.
