PARIS, May 3 (Reuters) - A series of unauthorised bets made by two Societe Generale traders in Hong Kong last year were "normally detected", the French bank's boss said on Friday, in defence of the group's risk control systems.

"(This incident) was normally detected by the control system, which shows its effectiveness," CEO Slawomir Krupa said on a call with reporters.

"This led us to immediately take appropriate measures, which clearly show our commitment, without any kind of hesitation, to strict compliance."

One of the traders - who were let go as a result of the trading incident - took aim at his former bosses on LinkedIn on Thursday, saying they were at fault for failing to identify the trades.

Krupa declined to elaborate on the specific measures and adjustments taken by the bank to improve its risk management systems. (Reporting by Mathieu Rosemain; editing by Jason Neely)
