Citigroup is braced for a hefty fine by the Financial Services Authority despite being cleared by Germany’s Eurex exchange following an investigation into a £7bn European bond trade last year.
The City regulator has been investigating the bond trade since last August, when Citigroup made a profit of £8m in two minutes.
The FSA is thought to be in the final stages of its investigation and is expected to levy a fine that would wipe out the profit made from the trade. It might even top the record-breaking £17m slapped on oil company Shell last year.
In contrast, the Eurex yesterday told Citigroup it had not broken any of its rules when it executed the trade. Citigroup was fined €5,000 (£3,300) for failing to register one of its traders on a “timely basis”.
“Citigroup has cooperated fully with the Eurex sanctions committee’s investigation and is pleased with [the] result,” the US bank said.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
