Nomura said he had not been kidnapped in Germany and that the assets of a subsidiary in Italy were frozen as a result of the action of the Italian judiciary. The judiciary is trying to block over 1,8 billion as part of the investigation into the Alexandria operation made with Monte dei Paschi di Siena in 2009.
A source close to the investigation he made it known that, with reference to the measure of the Siena prosecutor's office, "140 million between credits and liquids were seized". These funds, as the CFO of Nomura holding Shigesuke Kashiwagi said, remain the property of the bank but are frozen pending the judge's ruling on the seizure ordered by the prosecutor.
The preventive seizure decree must be validated by tomorrow at midday; otherwise it may decay. In this way, the magistrates would be trying to find the funds to cover the 88 million in implicit commissions disputed by the prosecutor. These are what the magistrates define as "usurious or, in any case, disproportionate interests and advantages" that the former MPS leaders recognized in Nomura.
