Barclays Libor trial linked to a wider scandal; Hayes’s case has framed debates on financial oversight and sentencing, highlighting reform and accountability in finance.
The Court of Appeal has quashed the convictions of five Barclays traders tied to Libor and Euribor manipulation. The rulings follow a sequence of Supreme Court decisions overturning related convictions. The Serious Fraud Office will not oppose retrials for Tom Hayes and Carlo Palombo, and the cases raise questions about fairness in the earlier trials.
