Can Italy’s oldest bank survive? There are still some key risks on the back of the No vote, but we think they will manifest themselves in Europe’s banking sector. If there is any sign of a run on Italy’s banking sector, then we could see panic spread to global financial sectors, including London and New York. Monte dei Paschi, Italy’s third largest and oldest bank, is desperately trying to raise EUR 5bn, and sell EUR 28bn in bad loans.
What I can't understand is how on earth the bank could have dished out such huge loans which seem to be toxic ! Have the Mafia taken the banks over and are just hosing out the money to disappear into the sewers ?
The Italian police should take a look at what has happened. Looks like something fishy to me.
