What about the customers of Kaupthing?


Customers of Kaupthing can’t withdraw money anymore from their accounts. The Icelandic bank was taken over last Thursday by the government. The Icelandic government only give a guarantee for the whole amount of savings for their inhabitants, which means that foreign customers will probably only get a maximum of 20,000€ back from their savings. The Belgian prime minister is negotiating with the government of Luxemburg, that took over the subsidiary of Kaupthing, to obtain more money for the Belgian customers.

that --> which
'the subsidiary': what subsidiary?
