The world's largest bond manager and well-known London hedge funds have contacted lawyers about possible legal action after being wiped out in the fire sale of Spain's Banco Popular Español.

Financial News reported earlier this month that the law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan had been approached by a group of bondholders who lost out when Banco Popular was bought by Santander for €1 on June 7.
