PARIS/LONDON (Reuters) - Shares in France's biggest bank BNP Paribas fell sharply on Friday on concerns a possible U.S. fine for alleged sanctions-busting could be big enough to restrict its dividends and force it to raise money to boost its capital. France's central bank said it was following the case "with the utmost attention" after a report in the Wall Street Journal said the U.S. Justice Department wanted $10 billion from the bank - double the amount which had been previously reported. BNP declined to comment on the report. Shares in BNP dropped as much as 6 percent on Friday to their lowest in more than eight months, slashing almost $5 billion off the bank's stock market value.
