WestLB Asks Prosecutors to Investigate Stock Traders (Update2)
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- WestLB AG, Germany's third-biggest state-owned bank, asked local prosecutors to investigate two former traders as well as unidentified outsiders for possible trading violations. The two employees, Markus Bolder and Friedhelm Breuers, were fired by the Dusseldorf, Germany-based bank last week, spokesman Marc-Sven Kopka said in a telephone interview today. WestLB contacted prosecutors in its home city after an internal probe showed that ``third parties'' may have been involved in violations related to the trading of stock it owns. WestLB lost at least 100 million euros ($134 million) in ``a few days'' after Bolder and Breuers made ``failed'' trading bets on shares of Volkswagen AG, Europe's largest carmaker, Financial Times Deutschland reported last week, citing unidentified bankers.
