Police clash with protesters demanding payback of investments they had made in the Espirito Santo Group, which owned Banco Espirito Santo (BES), in front of the bank's headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal, September 9, 2015. The state in August 2014 rescued Portugal's second largest lender by injecting 4.9 billion euros into the “good bank” Novo Banco, and keeping the toxic assets at the “bad bank” BES. But the defaulted commercial paper of the Espirito Santo Group was left with the bad bank, which is to be wound down. (Photo by Hugo Correia/Reuters)
