UK court identifies Barclays staff named in rate probe

Fri, 25th Jan 2013 13:38

By Matt Scuffham

LONDON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - A number of Barclays current and past executives are on a shortlist of individualsnamed in regulatory documents referring to the bank's attemptedrigging of global benchmark interest rates, court documentsreleased on Friday showed.

The list includes the head of Barclays' investment bank,Rich Ricci, who has led a reputation-based review of all ofBarclays' investment banking activities following the scandal,which saw the bank fined $453 million by United States andBritish authorities.

The list also includes finance director Chris Lucas, formerChief Executive Bob Diamond, former chief operating officerJerry del Missier, and former compliance head Stephen Morse.

A British judge ordered the bank to reveal their identitiesduring a preliminary hearing for a test case on the mis-sellingof interest rate swaps brought by a residential care homeoperator.

A longer list of 104 individuals who were named in courtpapers was released on Thursday after the judge denied theirrequest for anonymity. The shorter list of 25, released onFriday, names those specifically referred to in regulatorydocuments referring to Libor manipulation.

Twenty-four of the 25 had requested anonymity - theexception being former Barclays trader Jay Merchant, who went onto become head of swaps trading at UBS before leaving hisposition last August amid federal scrutiny of his activitieswhile at Barclays.

None of those named is necessarily implicated in anywrongdoing.

Guardian Care Homes alleges Barclays mis-sold interest ratehedging products based on Libor (London interbank offered rate)in a case that is shining a light on those involved in thebank's interest rate-setting process..
