--French market regulator AMF is nearing the end of an investigation into whether Casino acted properly when it deconsolidated its Mercialys property company in 2013, reports French newspaper Les Echos.

--The retailer held more than 50% in 2012 but reduced it to 40% in 2013. However, if it held de facto control of the unit, Casino shouldn't have deconsolidated the unit's debt from its balance sheet, according to Les Echos.

--The AMF could decide to penalize Casino, depending on the outcome of the investigation, Les Echos reports.
