This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Immediate investigation with proceedings for criminal trial under Fraud Act 2006
More details
We the undersigned, demand the Attorney General's office to sanction parliament to hold a full and thorough investigation into the "criminal culture" run and held in the financial institutions currently being ousted by the FSA ~ Barclays, RBS, HSBC, JP Morgan, Citigroup and Deutsche Bank among others still to be announced.
It is morally repugnant for this sort of corruption and we demand those at the top pay for what has transpired and held accountable by means of a criminal prosecution under the Fraud Act 2006; it clearly states ~ The Act gives a statutory definition of the criminal offence of fraud, defining it in three classes - fraud by false representation, fraud by failing to disclose information, and fraud by abuse of position.
Each of these financial institutions have manipulated interest rates at which banks lend to each other; which means they falsly represented themselves; and under the Act deemed to have committed fraud.
