A former BNP Paribas SA trader caught up in allegations of bullying sued the bank for unfair dismissal, saying he was pushed out after disclosing wrongdoing on the trading floor.
Xavier Dehais, who worked as a U.K. sovereign bond trader until last year, said the bank painted an unfair picture of him as someone with whom it was impossible to work. Dehais, who worked for BNP for almost eight years, said in a statement at a London Court Tuesday that he disclosed at least five instances of unauthorized trades and inflated books.
