    Barclays- fraud

    linky

    Barclays and four former executives have been charged with fraud over their actions in the 2008 financial crisis.

    The Serious Fraud Office case relates to the billion of pounds the bank raised from Qatari investors enabling it to avoid a government bailout.

    Former chief executive John Varley is one of the four ex-staff who will face Westminster magistrates on 3 July.

    Barclays says it is considering its position and awaiting further details.

    "The charges arise in the context of Barclays' capital raisings in June and November 2008. Barclays awaits further details of the charges from the SFO," the bank said in a statement.

    I used to work in a coffee shop in Ripon with the person that put together that deal.

    She got £110 million commission (£40 million profit) from that one, and I'm on CUK

      Is this the same Barclay's that showered in the limelight of 2008 indicating it was cleaner than a clean thing with clean bits on it?

        And she might end up in prison.

                  Indeed. There needs to be punitive asset confiscations. Would have helped in the case of Fred the Shred.
