ITALY-FRANCE-JUSTICE-KERVIEL

French rogue trader Jerome Kerviel walks on a road to leave Modena on March 19, 2014, during his trek from Rome to Paris “against the tyranny of the markets”. A top French appeals court today upheld rogue trader Jerome Kerviel’s three-year jail sentence over high-risk trading that cost the Societe Generale bank nearly five billion euros ($7 billion). But the court cancelled the 4.9 billion euros in damages that Kerviel was ordered to pay, and referred this section of the ex-trader’s sentence to another court near Paris to be re-judged.
