FRANKFURT  - Germany's finance minister Olaf Scholz was criticised by lawmakers for bungling oversight of Wirecard, according to a draft report of a public inquiry into Germany's biggest corporate fraud.

The report, by opposition lawmakers and coming after a months long investigation, also said that Chancellor Angela Merkel was naive regarding Wirecard's lobbying efforts.

The finance minister and chancellery weren't immediately able to respond to requests for comment.
