Disney wants investigation of Lehman officials

ANAHEIM(CALIFORNIA): The Walt Disney Co. is demanding an investigation into the actions of directors at Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc. leading up to its collapse last month.

In Monday's filing in federal bankruptcy court in New York, Disney joined a growing number of Lehman Bros. creditors calling for an investigation into what transpired in the investment house's final days.

Martin J. Bienenstock, a New York-based attorney representing Disney, says his client is asking the judge to appoint an examiner to investigate.

Disney claims it was owed $92 million from a currency exchange when the holding company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sept. 15.
