France Telecom bosses face suicides investigation...

More former executives of France Telecom are to go before an investigating magistrate Thursday, a day after the ex-head of the company was placed under investigation over a spate of suicides there.

Didier Lombard, who ran the company between 2005 and 2010, was told on Wednesday he was being investigated for workplace harassment and put on bail of €100,000 ($125,000), his lawyer Jean Veil said.

Lombard was the first person to be heard by Pascal Gand, the investigating magistrate handling the case, said Veil.

But other senior executives, including the company's former head of human resources Olivier Barberot, and Louis-Pierre Wenes, formerly number two at France Telecom, are due before the magistrate Thursday.

Representatives of the company itself will face the magistrate on Friday and may be told that the company has also been placed under investigation. Full story...
