BNP Paribas trader fired for 'emotional terrorism' against staff sues for $4mn in France

Omar Alami, who was fired from his position as the head of BNP Paribas's equity derivatives sales for Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg in 2019, is suing the French bank for $4 million for unfairly dismissing him. The bank's lawyer has said that employees accused Alami of "emotional terrorism" and behaviour that left them with "a feeling of waterboarding".
