French lawyer Jean Veil, representing the bank Societe Generale, leaves after a hearing at a Paris appeals court February 8, 2008. A French appeals court ruled that Jerome Kerviel, the trader blamed by Societe Generale for huge losses, should be held in custody for the duration of the investigation because of a risk that he may try to abscond.
