French prosecutors have recommended that HSBC should stand trial for allegedly helping people evade taxes in France, a person familiar with the matter said on November 3.

If French judges decide to follow prosecutors' advice, HSBC could stand trial in Paris in the first half of next year. The judges could also dismiss the case.
