UBS AG, Switzerland’s biggest bank, asked British police at 1 a.m. to arrest Kweku Adoboli before notifying the U.K. financial regulator or prosecutors, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The Financial Services Authority was notified shortly after police. Prosecutors at the Serious Fraud Office, which also handles white-collar crime, weren’t contacted at all, according to the people, who declined to be identified because the investigations are private.
