Decision delayed on retrial for French rogue trader Kerviel

Investigators postponed a decision Monday on whether French rogue trader Jerome Kerviel has the right to a retrial over his conviction for gambling away 4.9 billion euros ($5.5 billion), lawyers said. The 39-year-old's unauthorised trading almost bankrupted his employer Societe Generale, one of Europe's biggest banks, but his defenders say he has been made a scapegoat.
