Ex-Barclays boss Jes Staley banned over Epstein scandal

Feb 16,2020 7:27 am

Barclays' former boss has been banned from holding senior positions in the UK after he mischaracterised his relationship with convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein .

Jes Staley has also been fined £1. 8m, said the Financial Conduct Authority.

The regulator said Mr Staley had claimed not to be close to Epstein when, in reality, emails suggested he viewed him as a " cherished" friend.

Epstein killed himself in 2019 awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

Barclays announced that Mr Staley should also forego bonuses and long-term incentives totalling £17. 8m following the FCA's findings.

The regulator said Mr Staley had " recklessly" approved a letter sent by Barclays to the FCA which contained two misleading statements about his relationship with Epstein.

Therese Chambers, joint Executive Director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA said: " A chief executive needs to exercise sound judgement and set an example to staff at their firm. Mr Staley failed to do this.

" We consider that he misled both the FCA and the Barclays board about the nature of his relationship with Epstein. "

She added that it was right to prevent him from holding a senior position in the Financial Services industry if he could not be relied on " to act with integrity by disclosing uncomfortable truths about his close personal relationship with Epstein".
