Paris's prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin (C)

Paris's prosecutor Jean-Claude Marin (C) speaks during a press conference next to Patrick Hefner (R), Deputy Director of the finance department of the French judiciary police, 28 January 2008 at Paris courthouse, after a Societe Generale statement yesterday outlined the bank's allegations against accused trader Jerome Kerviel, detailing "the method behind the fraud" that it said cost them 4.9 billion euros. While Kerviel's lawyer has denied personal wrong-doing, the bank's statement accused the trader of slaloming his way through controls he knew inside-out from a previous role processing futures buying and selling. French trader Jerome Kerviel started taking "unauthorised positions" in futures trading for Societe Generale bank more than two years ago, in late 2005, the prosecutor said.
