Broker connected to Societe Generale's Kerviel questioned by judges - Forbes.com

PARIS (Thomson Financial) - The Fimat broker, who was in touch with Societe Generale rogue trader Jerome Kerviel, was interviewed for three hours this morning by judges, according to a source close to the matter.

Brokerage unit Newedge, was formerly known as Fimat, but last month renamed as Newedge after merging with Credit Agricole's brokerage operations.

Judges Renaud van Ruymbeke and Francoise Desset questioned him on his links with Kerviel and notably on his instant messaging conversations with the trader.

Around 1,600 pages of these messages, dating from between September 2007 and January 2008 have been seized by financial investigators.
