Federal grand jury investigating Regions' ties to recruiting firm

Posted: Updated:

The "Wall Street Journal" says that a federal grand jury is looking at the relationship between Birmingham-based Regions Financial Corporation and an executive recruiting firm.

Documents obtained by the "Journal" show Atlanta-based Fiderion Group paid for golf trips for bank executives and also borrowed money from Regions.

The prosecutors and the jury are looking into whether these actions violated federal law.
