LONDON—Britain’s National Crime Agency is expanding a review into fraud allegations at HBOS, part of Lloyds Banking Group , that have already led to the jailing of six people in a scam that pushed business owners to hire a costly turnaround consultancy.
The NCA said on Monday it was following up a request from Thames Valley police, who conducted the investigation that led to the original convictions, with a view to a wider investigation into allegations of fraud and money laundering.
