Carlo Palombo
Carlo Palombo is a former trader at Barclays who was prosecuted for his involvement in the manipulation of interest rate benchmarks, specifically Libor and Euribor, alongside fellow trader Tom Hayes. Convicted of conspiracy to defraud in 2015, Palombo has since claimed that he and his colleagues were scapegoated in a systemic scandal that saw similar practices condoned by higher-ups in the financial system.
