Jan Marsalek (né Maršálek, 15 March 1980) is an Austrian fugitive former businessman and suspected spy operative for Russia.

Marsalek was responsible for Wirecard's business in Asia, where the company admitted that nearly €2 billion in cash it supposedly held did not exist.

He is now reportedly living in Russia after Interpol issued a "red notice" arrest warrant for his alleged role in the Wirecard scandal.

[5] Marsalek's grandfather, Hans Maršálek, was a member of the Austrian resistance during World War II and was later suspected to be a spy for the Soviet Union.

[8] On 19 July 2020, the German newspaper Handelsblatt reported that Marsalek was probably in Russia, where he was believed to live under the supervision of the Russian GRU in a mansion near Moscow.

[10] According to Die Welt, the BND had information in 2020 that Marsalek was at a Russian FSB training center in Balashikha, a suburb of Moscow.

It was suggested that she may have been recruited as a "honey trap", as she had casually met Marsalek and by 2014 had introduced him to GRU handler Stanislav Petlinsky.

[15] In March 2024, Der Spiegel's English-language website published a detailed investigation into Marsalek's alleged involvement with Russian state agencies.

[17] In 2024, at the UK court case Marsalek was described as the person who coordinated the "Bulgarian spy ring" and paid one of the suspects Orlin Roussev £204,000 for his operations.
