Eliot Spitzer, the attorney general of the state of New York, has made a court filing asking that Richard Grasso should return $112m (€88m) after the former chairman of the New York Stock Exchange lost a court case last month.

In October, New York Supreme Court Judge Charles Ramos ruled that Grasso must return approximately $100m already paid to him by the exchange. Ramos also dismissed Grasso's motion seeking $48m plus interest in damages for the loss of his job in 2003.
