The boss of the UK’s financial regulator is accused of threatening a consumer group with “adverse(不利的,有害的) consequences” if it blocked a £9.1bn compensation scheme meant to(旨在,打算) settle the motor finance scandal(丑闻,丑行).
英国金融监管机构的负责人被指控威胁一个消费者组织,称如果该组织阻止一项旨在解决汽车金融丑闻的91亿英镑赔偿计划,将面临“不利后果”。
Legal documents reviewed by the Guardian said the alleged(被指控的,所谓的) comments by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) chief executive, Nikhil Rathi, amounted to(相当于,等于) “an inappropriate intervention(干预,介入) by a public official”.
《卫报》查阅的法律文件称,英国金融行为监管局(FCA)首席执行官尼基尔·拉蒂被指控的言论相当于“公职人员的不当干预”。
The threat is said to(据说,据称) have taken place during a Microsoft Teams call with the directors of Consumer Voice (CV) on 27 April, hours before the deadline to file legal challenges against the FCA’s proposed redress(赔偿,补救) scheme for those missold(不当销售的) car loans.
据称,这一威胁发生在4月27日与消费者之声(CV)董事进行的一次微软Teams通话中,当时距离针对FCA拟议的赔偿计划(针对被不当销售汽车贷款的消费者)提出法律挑战的最后期限仅剩数小时。
