Paris bank chief freed
Hundreds of employees occupying the Paris headquarters of the troubled state bank Credit Foncier de France released its chairman, Jerome Meyssonnier, but said that the siege, in its sixth day, would continue.
The Finance Minister, Jean Arthuis, who has been under intense pressure over his plans for the bank, said that the release would allow a serious dialogue to begin. Reuters - Paris
