The Paris court of appeals rejected the claims by Stephane Fima, who was dismissed in 2016 for gross misconduct after police raided his office at the bank’s headquarters in western Paris. The former specialist in acquisition financing had already lost his first case two years ago. He was seeking severance pay as well as a 130,000-euro bonus for 2015.
