Germany May Go After Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs may soon have another government on its back: Germany will ask the SEC for information about its fraud case against the Wall Street giant. One of Germany's big lenders, IKB, got caught up in Goldman's mortgage investment scheme and required a bailout to avoid collapse, explains the Wall Street Journal.

"First we must ask for the documents, then evaluate (them) and then decide about legal steps," said a spokesman for Chancellor Andrea Merkel, confirming a report in a German newspaper.
