UBS to plead guilty to fraud for interest-rate rigging

Bank also to pay $1.5 billion in fines, fees and penalties

In a statement of facts, Mr. Hayes is referred to as “Trader-1” and Mr. Darin is referred to as “Submitter-1.”

The criminal information said UBS Japan and Mr. Hayes employed three strategies to execute the scheme: conspiring with Mr. Darin and others to cause the bank to make false and misleading Yen LIBOR submissions to the BBA; causing cash brokerage firms to disseminate false and misleading information about short-term interest rates for Yen, which those banks could and did rely upon in formulating their own LIBOR submissions to the BBA; and communicating with interest rate derivatives traders employed at three other Yen LIBOR panel banks to cause them to make false and misleading Yen LIBOR submissions to the BBA.
