  • UK fraud agency charges three ex-Barclays bankers over Libor! 
    by Steve Slater 
    Feb 17 (Reuters) – Britain’s fraud agency started criminal proceedings against three former bankers at Britain’s Barclays Plc on Monday for the alleged manipulation of Libor interest rates.

    T
    he Serious Fraud Office (SFO) said it has charged Peter Charles Johnson, Jonathan James Mathew and Stylianos Contogoulas with conspiracy to defraud between June 2005 and August 2007.
    –
    The SFO last year brought charges against three former employees of Swiss bank UBS and UK brokerage RP Martin, the first people to face trial in connection with a global investigation into a rate-rigging scandal that sparked intense criticism of standards across the industry.
    –
    Barclays paid $450 million in July 2012 to settle allegations from U.S. and UK regulators that it had manipulated Libor interest rates, prompting the resignations of its chairman and chief executive and a barrage of criticism about standards and culture.
    –
    Libor rates, designed to reflect the wholesale cost of loans, are used to help to price hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of financial products worldwide, ranging from derivatives to mortgages.
    –
    Johnson was a U.S. dollar Libor-submitter in London. The Financial Times said Mathew reported to Johnson and signed a non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2012 before Barclays’ settlement, whereby he agrees to co-operate and avoids any criminal charge.
    –
    Until now investigations have centered on alleged rigging of yen Libor. Barclays declined to comment on Monday.
    –
    All three men are listed as “inactive” on the UK financial regulator’s register of regulated staff. It showed Johnson left Barclays on Sept. 27, 2012 and Mathew left a day later.
    –
    Contogoulas left Barclays in April 2006 and joined Merrill Lynch three months later as a rates trader. Merrill was not one of the banks that submitted prices used to set Libor prices. It was taken over by Bank of America and Contogoulas left the bank in September 2011, the register shows.
    –
    Bank of America declined to comment. Eight banks and RP Martin have paid penalties of almost $6 billion for the alleged manipulation of Libor and its euro equivalent, Euribor.
    –
    UBS, Royal Bank of Scotland and Rabobank have paid bigger settlements than Barclays over Libor, and more banks are expected to face fines as regulators in the United States and Britain continue to investigate.
