Citigroup To Cut Italy Workforce, Sell Private Banking Unit

Citigroup will cut its Italian workforce from 1,000 to 500 by the end of 2009 and could sell its Italian private banking unit to Banco Santander, il Sole 24 Ore reports.

The paper cites an interview with Citigroup's Chief Executive Officer of the Middle East, Africa and Europe, William Mills.

The paper says that William Mills is in Italy to discuss changes to the Italian structure, in which Citigroup will be left with only its corporate and investment banking operations in Italy.

The Italian country manager Giuliano Malacarne is expected to leave the bank, Sole also says.

"More than a diet, I prefer to talk about getting back in shape," Mills is quoted as saying in the interview.

How rich is filthy rich?

Millionaires: think you're rich? Think again. According to multi-millionaire entrepreneur Felix Dennis, a total net worth of £1m (€1.1m) to £2m means you are merely comfortably poor.
