三名巴克莱(Barclays)前银行家在一场备受瞩目的审判中被判合伙操纵一个关键利率的罪名成立。广州法庭翻译公司。
Jonathan Mathew, a Libor submitter, along with traders Jay Merchant and Alex Pabon, were found guilty of conspiring with others at Barclays to manipulate US dollar Libor — the benchmark interbank lending rate — for more than two years, until September 2007.
伦敦银行同业拆借利率(Libor)提交者乔纳森•马修(Jonathan Mathew),以及交易员杰伊•麦钱特(Jay Merchant)和亚历克斯•帕邦(Alex Pabon)被判有罪,罪名是伙同巴克莱其他员工一起操纵美元Libor——银行间同业拆解利率基准——长达两年多时间,一直到2007年9月。
They had denied wrongdoing in a 14-week jury trial at Southwark Crown Court in London. Barclays’ Libor submitter Peter Johnson had pleaded guilty to the charge before the trial began.
此前三人在伦敦萨瑟克刑事法庭(Southwark Crown Court)持续14周的陪审团庭审中否认存在不法行为。巴克莱Libor提交者彼得•约翰逊(Peter Johnson)在审判开始之前认罪。
The verdicts were delivered last Wednesday but could not be reported immediately, as the jury was deliberating on the fate of two other co-defendants. The four, including Johnson, are due to be sentenced this week.
该判决于上周三作出,但不能立即报道,因为陪审团还在商议另两名同案被告的命运。包括约翰逊在内的四名被告定于本周被量刑。广州法庭翻译公司。
The jury was discharged after being unable to reach verdicts on the two other defendants, Stylianos Contogoulas and Ryan Reich. It is unclear whether they will face a retrial.
由于无法对其他两名被告斯蒂利亚诺斯•孔托古拉斯(Stylianos Contogoulas)和瑞安•赖克(Ryan Reich)作出一致判决,陪审团随后解散。目前尚不清楚两人是否会面临重审。
The convictions are being hailed as a success for the Serious Fraud Office. Before this trial the agency had only secured the conviction of Tom Hayes, the former UBS and Citigroup trader, in relation to Libor. A second trial this year resulted in acquittals for six former ­brokers at ICAP, Tullett Prebon and RP Martin.
上述有罪判决被誉为英国严重欺诈办公室(Serious Fraud Office)的一次成功。在此次审判前,该机构只争取到前瑞银(UBS)和花旗集团(Citigroup)交易员汤姆•海耶斯(Tom Hayes)被判有罪。在今年第二场审判中,英国毅联汇业(ICAP)、德利万邦(Tullett Prebon)和RP Martin的6名前券商获得无罪判决。
