麻豆约拍

Matt Connolly speaks to World Business Report as part of a 麻豆约拍 investigation. The UK's top financial watchdog made statements for use in court that were later acknowledged by a senior official to be false, the 麻豆约拍 has discovered. The statements were used in a case against two ex-Deutsche Bank traders - Matt Connolly and Gavin Black - convicted of rigging interest rates. US government prosecutors submitted other statements that were acknowledged in court to be false or misleading. Both the US and UK authorities say allegations of misconduct have been dismissed by the court. The 麻豆约拍's Andy Verity explains the background to the case. Also in the programme, Portugal's governing centre left socialists are back in power, but failed to secure an absolute majority in Sunday's election. Ana Luis Andrade is a Portugal analyst with the Economist Intelligence Unit, and tells us that whilst Portugal has recovered well since the financial crisis, it is likely to be hit by the ongoing global downturn. Plus whilst many people dream of being their own boss to help manage their workload better, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare considers whether the fantasy lives up to reality.
