(Reuters)
- Lloyds Banking Group said on Monday it had dismissed eight staff
following an investigation into the submission of benchmark interest
rates after it was fined in July by American and British regulators.
Lloyds, which is 25 percent owned by the British government, said
around 3 million pounds in unpaid bonuses had been forfeited as a result
of the action.
The bank was fined $370 million in July for its part in
the attempted
manipulation of the London interbank offered rate (Libor) and for
attempting to fix so-called "repo" rates to reduce fees for a
taxpayer-backed scheme set up by the Bank of England to support British
banks during the 2008 financial crisis.
