LONDON (Alliance News) - The UK Serious Fraud Office is looking at the activities of a Barclays PLC hedge fund, The Times reported on Friday, after allegations that it profited from using confidential information profit on Libor "low-balling" during the financial crisis of 2008-09.

The report said the fraud investigators are looking at the Cayman-registered Ricardo Master Fund as part of a broader investigation into Libor rigging.

Both the SFO and Barclays declined to comment to The Times.
