LIBOR

Asked by Iqbal MohamedIndependentAttorney GeneralTabled Answered 3 July 2026UIN 13393

The question

To ask the Solicitor General, what records are retained by the Serious Fraud Office concerning decisions not to charge individuals during the LIBOR investigations, and for how long are those records kept.

Answered by Ellie Reeves

SFO case records are retained in line with its retention policy. This specifies that case related material should be maintained for at least 7 years following case closure, or the closure of any related appeals. Some material may be held for up to 20 years if it were subsequently deemed as being of long-term interest, before being transferred to the National Archives.
