The twelve banks include UBS, Credit Suisse, Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi UFJ, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JP Morgan Chase, Mizuho Financial Group, Rabobank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Société Génerale, and Sumitomo Mitsui.
The probe was opened after Comco received an application for its leniency program.
