Jérôme Kerviel, the French "rogue trader" who lost one of Europe's biggest banks nearly five billion euros with wildly risky bets, will be freed from jail on Monday, his lawyer said, reports The Local.
The Paris appeals court ruled that the 37-year-old can be released from a prison just south of the capital and placed under supervision with an electronic bracelet, David Koubbi told journalists.
Kerviel, was convicted after his high-risk trading cost his former employer Société Générale nearly €5 billion and brought one of the biggest banks in Europe to the brink of bankruptcy.
He was originally sentenced to three-years behind bars but will, in the end, only serve around 100 days.
