A Barclays Plc trader referred to a female colleague with a derogatory term after she refused to help him in an interest-rate rigging scheme that prosecutors say involved both of them.

Philippe Moryoussef complained that Sisse Bohart wasn’t doing enough to help him influence interest rates in a way that would benefit his trading position. A lawyer for Bohart read out the messages from Moryoussef in a London court on Thursday as she tried to distance herself from some of the other traders accused of fixing the Euribor rates.
