    BAWAG and the Refco scandal

    The former BAWAG bank suffered major losses connected with its relationship with Refco, whose collapse exposed transactions and risk-management failures. The affair led to intense political scrutiny, criminal proceedings against former managers, a change of ownership and a prolonged restructuring of the bank. The events concern the predecessor institution and are part of the group’s legacy history.
