Philippe Moryoussef, a former trader at Barclays Plc, went to France ahead of a London trial on charges that he rigged a key benchmark rate, saying that the proceedings wouldn’t be fair.
Moryoussef, a French citizen, was one of five traders scheduled to face the charges at a trial that started Monday with jury selection in London. The fact that the 49-year-old has left the U.K. can be reported after a judge lifted a reporting restriction in the case at a hearing Tuesday.
