On July 12, 2018, the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office announced that two former bankers have been found guilty by a jury of conspiracy to defraud for manipulating the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR). One other former banker has been found not guilty by a jury. The findings follow an investigation launched by the SFO 2012.

The jury could not reach verdicts on the case of three other bankers. By July 20, 2018, the SFO will inform the court whether it intends to proceed with a retrial. The two convicted bankers will be sentenced on July 20, 2018.
