Convicted rogue trader Jerome Kerviel got to play French judges a covert recording he hopes will unravel years of claims that he was solely responsible for Societe Generale SA’s 4.9 billion-euro ($5.5 billion) trading loss nearly a decade ago.
On the second day of a trial at the Versailles court of appeals, judges heard 13 extracts of a secret tape made last June by a police officer who led Kerviel probes in 2008 and 2012 and who has voiced concerns about the case.
