On March 15, 2016, the Serious Fraud Office announced that it
had closed its investigation relating to allegations of fraudulent
conduct in the foreign exchange market. The SFO has concluded there
was insufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction,
based on the information and material from the Financial Conduct
