DUESSELDORF, Germany (Reuters) – The new chairman of Adler Group said on Wednesday he has had no contact yet with KPMG, which is conducting a special audit of the company’s affairs.

Earlier this month, the BaFin financial watchdog said it would examine the financial reports of Adler Group, one of Germany’s biggest landlords, following allegations made by short seller Fraser Perring’s Viceroy Research.
