The Department of Justice is building criminal cases against banks and individuals involved in the fixing of international interest rates, according to government officials. A scandal surrounding the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR, emerged in past weeks as employees of Barclays were accused of manipulating the rate. The bank reached a $450 million settlement with investigators in the U.S. and United Kingdom last month.
