JUSTICE The court of appeal in Versailles (Yvelines) has pointed out, this Friday, the liability of the bank in this case…
justice has always been a question of balance. And for the Société Générale, it has changed radically in meaning, this Friday, with the judgment rendered by the court of appeal in Versailles (Yvelines) in the folder Kerviel. Then she wanted to benefit of 4.9 billion euros in damages and interest, the bank may, conversely, be forced to repay more than two billion euros in taxes to the State.
>> facts: Jerome Kerviel held “partially responsible”
The Versailles appeal court has, in effect, held Jérôme Kerviel “partially responsible” for the fraud that bears his name since 2008. The other “responsible party” is nothing other than the Société Générale itself. Black and white, in their judgment, the magistrates pointed to the “deficient organization” and “the accumulation of breaches in security and risk monitoring” of the bank.
