Italy prosecutors in Trani probing five foreign banks - sources

BARI Feb 4 (Reuters) - Italian prosecutors in the town of Trani are investigating five foreign banks for possible manipulation of Euribor, the euro-priced counterpart of scandal-hit Libor bank-to-bank lending rates, court sources said on Monday.

The banks are Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC and Societe Generale , the court sources said.

The probe was opened in July after complaints from consumer groups.

It was not immediately possible to reach the banks for comment.
