Dus ze wisten het al haast zeker...
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc may pay as much as 500 million pounds ($804 million) in fines next week to settle allegations traders tried to rig interest rates, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
Investment banking chief John Hourican and Peter Nielsen, the head of markets, may also be asked to leave because they had responsibility for the parts of the company where the alleged wrongdoing occurred, even though they may not have had direct knowledge of the behavior, said two people, who declined to be identified because the talks are private.
Nu nog even afwachten hoe groot de schade werkelijk is:
The size of the fine and the date of the settlement aren’t yet fixed and the final details are still to be agreed, the people cautioned. RBS fell 0.5 percent to 362.80 pence as of 8:03 a.m. in London trading today.
Officials at RBS, the U.K. Financial Services Authority and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Justice Department declined to comment. Nielsen didn’t respond to an e- mail and Hourican didn’t reply to a voicemail seeking comment.
