IberiaBank Corp. is accusing two former executives of a bank it purchased this year of stealing customer and business information and giving the sensitive data to JD Bank, a Jennings-based business rival formerly known as Jeff Davis Bank & Trust.

In the lawsuit, IberiaBank said Broussard, who was a senior vice president and chief lending officer at Teche, took more than 4,000 confidential files before deleting them.
