French authorities are busy hunting Jerome Kerviel's accomplices and it looks like they've stumbled upon someone of interest.
An unidentified employee from a Societe Generale subsidiary has been taken into custody and the bank's HQ has been subject to a search. This is the second such individual to be picked up.
The first, Moussa Bakir, arrested last month based on instant message exchanges he had with rogue trader, Jerome Kerviel. Bakir was promptly released after a day or so of sweating by French police.
We don't have a name yet for this new individual, but it is sure to come our in short order. Here's
the latest update on SocGen via Bloomberg.
