UBS says not fined in currency rigging probe but must pay US $342 mn
Swiss banking giant UBS said Wednesday that the US Department of Justice had dropped charges against it after a probe into currency rigging.
The bank must nevertheless pay a $342-million penalty (307 million) to the Federal Reserve, the bank said in a statement. A previous agreement with US authorities struck in 2012 over the Libor scandal into manipulation of benchmark interest rates, however, has been overturned.
