He was referring to allegations from the Deutsche Bank, the company was the victim of speculators.

Gabriel made for the current crisis, the German Bank, however, past mistakes of the management. “The scenario is that thousands of people will lose their jobs. You now carry the responsibility for the madness that was operated by irresponsible managers", – said the Minister.
