FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank's co-chief executives Anshu Jain and Juergen Fitschen have offered to resign, a source familiar with the matter said on Sunday, just over two weeks after the bank gave Jain more power in a move criticized by some of his own staff.
The supervisory board has convened an emergency meeting on Sunday to discuss the bank's leadership, the source said.
The bank has struggled to restore an image tarnished by a raft of regulatory and legal problems which include probes into manipulation of benchmark interest rates, mis-selling of derivatives, tax evasion and money laundering.
In a last ditch effort to restore confidence in its leadership, the German lender presented a radical management shakeup on May 21, only to face calls for Jain to resign from staff situated in its own headquarters in Frankfurt.
Deutsche Bank declined to comment on the resignation offers. Jain did not respond to a message left on his phone. Supervisory board chairman Paul Achleitner could not be reached for comment.
Reached by phone, Marcus Schenck, the company's chief financial officer said, "I will not comment on anything."
