Citigroup is being investigated by the Greek authorities after one of its staff warned the bank’s clients of the possibility of the country announcing a debt restructuring this weekend.
The police said Thursday it had asked for outside help after the finance ministry on Wednesday called for an investigation into “possible criminal conduct” related to this email.
Local reports said the email came from an employee of U.S. bank Citigroup.
“We are co-operating with the authorities and do not consider there to have been any wrongdoing by Citi or its employees,” Citigroup said in a statement from its regional office in London.
