Barclays Traders Said to Face U.K. Libor Interviews

Several former Barclays Plc traders suspected of involvement in Libor manipulation were ordered to report to U.K. fraud prosecutors for interviews, according to a person with knowledge of the case.

The Serious Fraud Office sent notices to the people in the U.S. and U.K. over the last six weeks, telling them to come in to be questioned under caution as part of a global investigation into rate-rigging, said the person, who asked not to be named because the requests are private. An interview under caution means anything a suspect says can be used as evidence in a criminal trial.
