Two banks that have been prominent zombies in the Italian banking crisis: Veneto Banca and Banca Popolare di Vicenza, in northeastern Italy. The banks have combined assets of €60 billion, a good part of which are toxic and no one wanted to touch them. They already received a bailout but more would have been required, ECB had given the banks time to present capital plans, but the banks had been unable to offer credible solutions.

The banks will be wound up under Italian insolvency procedures.

The EU considers many of the people seeking asylum in member countries to be economic migrants and seeks to send them home. Under European rules, this would be tricky with refugees that fled countries like Syria, where peoples’ lives could be in danger.
