LOS ANGELES--A former Global Crossing executive, cooperating with federal investigators probing the collapse of the high-speed telecommunications network company, plans to file a wrongful-termination lawsuit within the next week, his lawyer said Wednesday.

Roy Olofson, a former vice president of finance at Global Crossing, cooperated with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the FBI and several congressional investigations into the failed company, said Brian Lysaght, Olofson's lawyer.

"We had the lawsuit ready to go before the bankruptcy, but we had to procedurally recast it after the bankruptcy filing," Lysaght said. "It should be filed within a week."

Global Crossing, which filed for bankruptcy on Jan. 28 in the fourth-largest insolvency in U.S. history, has denied Olofson's allegations that it engaged in improper accounting.

But the company said earlier this month the SEC had asked it to turn over documents including a letter Olofson sent in August that questioned certain business practices.
