LONDON (AP) A British court has lifted an injunction preventing the Wall Street Journal from publishing the names of traders who may be implicated in the rate-rigging case involving the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR.
The Southwark Crown Court's decision came in a case surrounding former trader TomHayes, who was arrested last year. British authorities contacted the individuals last month and said their role in the alleged conspiracy was being examined.
Dow Jones & Co. published the names on several of its platforms last week, noting in the story that the list could change, and that inclusion didn't mean the individuals would be charged with a crime. The names were removed after the order, but will be restored.
The court lifted the injunction, but omitted the names in court documents.
