Two former auditors at Parmalat were ordered to stand trial today for market rigging – the first indictments since the massive fraud scandal at the Italian dairy giant.

THE head of auditing firm Grant Thornton’s Italian unit has resigned and his partner has been suspended indefinitely following their detentions in the Parmalat scandal on fraud accusations, the company said.
