Justice Department has tapped a former FBI general counsel who also helped lead a series of prosecutions connected with the Enron collapse to head its Fraud Section in Washington, the department said on Friday. Andrew Weissmann, who currently teaches at New York University School of Law, will take over the unit which is investigating alleged manipulation of foreign exchange rates by global banks and whether companies like Wal-Mart Stores Inc violated laws against bribing foreign officials. He was also a federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York with Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama's nominee to be the next attorney general. http://bit.ly/1yN0AEN http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
