U.K. police are investigating allegations of juror misconduct that could effect the appeal of a pair of former Barclays Plc sentenced to as much as five years in prison for rigging a key interest rate.
A police report indicates investigators have spoken to 9 of the 12 jurors who found Colin Bermingham and Carlo Palombo guilty of manipulating Euribor, judge Heather Carol Hallett said at a preliminary hearing in London on Thursday.
