You're talking about Jan Marsalek, right? That he worked for Russia is new to me.
According to [1], he did business in Russia, but that doesn't make him work for Russia. If you have more information in that, I'd be interested to hear.

Hard to find an English speaking source for it (we know how friendly the UK and Russian governments are lately), but for example, here https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/wirecard-jan-marsaleks-spuren-... are claims that Marsalek himself admitted relations with the FSB.
Not to diminish the negative effects for the reputation of Germany of these two cases, but they both aren't an expression of libertarianism like the idea that a company has no moral obligations to offer an important drug for an affordable price, but should make as much money as possible from it, which wouldn't fly in Germany.
