Former German President Christian Wulff, who resigned amid a corruption scandal in 2012, is set to work as a legal consultant for Turkish and Arab companies, German weekly Focus has reported.

Wulff, 54, who was Germany’s youngest president and served less than two years in the largely ceremonial job, resigned after prosecutors indicted him over allegations of corruption relating to his prior position as prime minister of Lower Saxony. His trial in Hannover is expected to be concluded on Feb. 27.

Wulff, who will participate in the Uludağ Economy Summit in Bursa on March 21-22, will start working as a legal consultant to Turkish and Arab companies after March, according to the Focus report.
