BANK OF ENGLAND AUCTIONS INVESTIGATED BY SFO

The UK's Serious Fraud Office is investigating the Bank of England's liquidity auctions held during the financial crisis.

The Bank referred the matter to the SFO itself after commissioning an inquiry of its own into whether staff were aware of, or involved in, possible manipulation of auctions around 2007 and 2008.
