Kweku Adoboli, a former UBS Group AG trader in London jailed in 2012 for causing a $2.3 billion loss at the bank, won a last-minute reprieve from his deportation to Ghana.
Adoboli will get another judicial review of the decision to deport him, his spokesman Nick Hopewell-Smith said Monday in an email. The 38-year-old was to leave Tuesday under rules that require foreign nationals who have been sentenced to more than four years in prison be deported automatically, unless there is a strong public interest in favor of them staying.
