Kweku Adoboli

Register entry

Kweku Adoboli is recorded in this register under the heading “Court record”, in connection with the role of Former trader, UBS Global Synthetic Equities. The entry is filed to London (United Kingdom · Ghana), which is the location associated with the role in the published material rather than a statement of present residence or employment.

A UK jury found him guilty of fraud by abuse of position and false accounting. The case became one of the largest unauthorised-trading losses recorded in London. The register reproduces the substance of the linked source and does not extend it. Where a matter has been appealed, reopened, or closed without findings, that position is stated as the source states it, and the summary line for this entry reads: “Convicted by a London court in 2012 over unauthorised trading that caused a $2.3bn loss at UBS.”

The entry rests on a published judicial decision or an established news agency report of one. It records the finding as the court expressed it, and nothing beyond it. Readers assessing counterparty, employment or reputational risk should treat this page as a signpost to the primary material — cited here as Southwark Crown Court / Reuters — and should verify current status directly with the issuing court, authority or publisher before acting. Corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled through the register's legal notice.
