Goldman Sachs faces contentious AGM

Goldman Sachs is bracing itself for what may be the most contentious annual meeting in the embattled investment bank‘s 142-year history.

On Friday, angry shareholders, including a coalition of religious groups, are planning to call on Goldman‘s executives to justify the combined $69.6m (£42.4m) payday its top five executives received in 2010 and to answer questions about allegations that the bank misled clients and lied to Congress.
