Six European bankers at Lehman Brothers are claiming £70m for lost pay and bonuses from the administrators of the collapsed bank, The Telegraph reported . Names include Riccardo Banchetti, Kieran Higgins, Georges Assi, David Bizer, Harsh Shah and Giancarlo Saronne.
"Other European claimants include Jeremy Isaacs, the former chief executive for Europe and Asia, and Rachid Bouzouba, former head of equity sales. They, along with others on the bank's executive board, are filing "Schedule G" claims which keep the details confidential."
