Airbus boss quizzed over shares
Airbus chief executive Tom Enders has been interviewed by French police as part of an investigation into allegations of insider trading at parent company EADS, the planemaker said yesterday.
“We confirm that he was held but he was not placed in detention, nor placed under investigation,” it said.
Enders, who has denied wrongdoing, is among 17 current or former executives and shareholders being investigated. They’re being questioned over the timing of share sales carried out before news of delays to the A380 superjumbo, which triggered a plunge in EADS stock in 2006.
