The Australian Securities & Investments Commission is now alleging that Commonwealth Bank traders tried to manipulate the interbank lending rate on six occasions. It had previously only contended that such manipulation had occurred on three dates. National Australia Bank and the ANZ Bank have already paid fines to settle their cases with ASIC, while Federal Court Justice Jonathan Beach is expected to soon hand down his decision in regard to ASIC’s case against Westpac.
