英国上诉法院周三推翻了五名前巴克莱银行交易员的刑事定罪 1。这五人分别为Jay Vijay Merchant、Jonathan Mathew、Philippe Moryoussef、Alex Pabon和Colin Bermingham，他们曾因操纵欧元银行间同业拆借利率（Euribor）和伦敦银行间同业拆借利率（LIBOR）被判入狱，原判时间跨度为2016年至2019年 1。严重欺诈办公室表示不反对这些上诉，承认原判可能存在不公 1。
本案是继英国最高法院一年多前为首名因LIBOR操纵被定罪的交易员汤姆·海耶斯平反后的进一步进展 1。同日期，前巴克莱交易员卡洛·帕洛博的定罪也被推翻，他曾于2019年因操纵Euribor被判四年监禁 1。这五人的案件由刑事案件审查委员会于1月转介至上诉法院 1。
被告人之一Jonathan Mathew表示："过去十年来，犯罪定罪的污名每分每秒都是我背负的沉重负担。" 1

Britain's Court of Appeal has quashed the convictions of five former Barclays traders who were imprisoned for manipulating Euribor and Libor interest rates 1. The ruling, delivered on Wednesday in July 2025, represents a significant development following the UK Supreme Court's exoneration of Tom Hayes, the first trader convicted in connection with Libor manipulation, over a year ago 1.
The five traders whose convictions have been overturned are Jay Vijay Merchant, Jonathan Mathew, Philippe Moryoussef, Alex Pabon, and Colin Bermingham 1. They were originally sentenced to prison between 2016 and 2019 1. The Serious Fraud Office indicated it did not oppose the appeals, acknowledging that the original convictions may have been unsafe 1. Additionally, Carlo Palombo, another former Barclays trader who was sentenced to four years in prison in 2019 for manipulating Euribor, also had his conviction overturned during the same period 1.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission referred the case of the five traders to the appellate court in January 1. Jonathan Mathew responded to the decision, stating: "For the last 10 years, the stain of a criminal conviction has been a burden I have carried every minute of every day" 1. The manipulation of Euribor and Libor rates has had widespread consequences, affecting the value of financial products worth trillions of pounds and euros 1.
