Currently, de Navacelle represents Société Générale’s former head of fixed income and treasuries, Danielle Sindzingre, who was charged in August 2017 by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) for her alleged role in a scheme to manipulate Libor. The bank entered into a US$750 million DPA with the DOJ on 4 June to end the Libor investigation into the company.
De Navacelle is currently preparing guidelines for internal investigations on behalf of the Paris Bar Association.”
