US Justice Department: Attorney General Lynch Delivers Remarks At A Press Conference On Foreign Exchange Spot Market Manipulation

Date 20/05/2015

Good morning, and thank you all for being here. I am joined today by Assistant Attorney General [Bill] Baer of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division and Assistant Attorney General [Leslie] Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, as well as our partners from the FBI and CFTC – Assistant Director in Charge [Andrew] McCabe of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and Director [Aitan] Goelman of the CFTC’s Division of Enforcement. We are here to announce a major law enforcement action against international financial institutions that for years participated in a brazen display of collusion and foreign exchange rate market manipulation – and will, as a result, pay a total of nearly $3 billion in fines and penalties. Today’s historic resolutions are the latest in our ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute financial crimes, and they serve as a stark reminder that this Department of Justice intends to vigorously prosecute all those who tilt the economic system in their favor; who subvert our marketplaces; and who enrich themselves at the expense of American consumers.
