Bus/Financial - Media / Multimedia / news report about corruption
German term or phrase: aktiv an der Aufklärung mitwirken
Der Geschäftsführer der Congress, Messe & Touristik GmbH (CMT), Bernd Koch, hat am Mittwoch über seinen Rechtsanwalt die Vorwürfe der Korruption zurückgewiesen. Es läge ausschließlich eine anonyme Anzeige gegen den Geschäftsführer vor, in der offensichtlich ohne Nachweise Anschuldigungen erhoben würden, heißt es in der Erklärung.

Während der Durchsuchung von Büroräumen und Wohnungen seien am Dienstag sämtliche von der Staatsanwaltschaft angeforderten Unterlagen übergeben worden. Der CMT-Chef wolle selbst ***aktiv an der Aufklärung mitwirken***. „Hierbei wird sich ergeben, dass die Beschuldigungen des anonymen Anzeigeerstatters haltlos sind“, so Rechtsanwalt Thomas Schulz im Auftrag des CMT-Chefs.

agree  Horst Huber (X): "Actively work towards a resolution" might be a bit easier? --- "Lend a hand" or "participate in" might do?

  -> Yes, but we have "mitwirken" which, I believe is vital to the PR intended. Thanks Horst, have a good Sunday!// He's trying to clear himself: "lend a hand" would be too "gönnerhaft", "participate" comes closer, albeit more passively.
agree  Thayenga: Again you've shared my thoughts. Have a Happy Sunday, Ramey. :)

wants to be actively involved in clearing up the issues


Explanation:
I like 'involved' because it carries a sense of 'I am personally interested' and I like 'issues' instead of 'matters' because to me that would be a slightly higher register, slightly more formal.
