A scandal over interest-rate manipulation reached the upper echelons of British banking and government, as the chief executive of Barclays BARC.LN -0.80% PLC resigned and the bank released documents that threaten to drag Bank of England and U.K. government officials into the affair.

在巴克莱集团(Barclays PLC)首席执行长(CEO)辞职以及该行公布可能将英国央行(Bank of England)和英国政府官员拖入丑闻的有关文件之后，英国银行业和政府高层也牵涉进了巴克莱操纵利率的丑闻。

Robert Diamond, the American CEO of Barclays, stepped down from his post a day after the bank's chairman, Marcus Agius, resigned. A top deputy to Mr. Diamond, Chief Operating Officer Jerry del Missier, also stepped down.

在巴克莱董事长魏万基(Marcus Agius)辞职一天后，巴克莱美籍CEO博达文(Robert Diamond)也相继辞职。博达文的主要副手、首席运营长德尔米西耶(Jerry del Missier)已经辞职。

Mr. Agius will stay on temporarily to run the bank and help find a new chairman and a CEO. Mr. Diamond's resignation was effective immediately.

魏万基将暂时留任，一面负责巴克莱的运营一面帮助该行物色新的董事长和CEO。博达文的辞呈已即刻生效。

The housecleaning at one of Europe's largest banks came less than a week after it reached a $453 million settlement with U.S. and U.K. regulators investigating manipulation of an important benchmark interest rate.
