British regulators probe Barclays CEO’s link to Jeffrey Epstein

LA Times  

Jes Staley ran the private bank division of JP Morgan before joining Barclays as chief executive in December 2015. Britain’s financial watchdog is investigating whether Barclays Chief Executive Jes Staley disclosed full details of his relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the bank said Thursday. In a statement to the London Stock Exchange, Barclays said that “as has been widely reported, earlier in his career Mr. Staley developed a professional relationship with Mr. Epstein.” The bank said Staley had had no contact with Epstein after joining Barclays in December 2015. Staley said Thursday that he first met Epstein in 2000, when he became head of JP Morgan’s private bank. “For sure, with hindsight with what we know now, I deeply regret having any relationship with Jeffrey.” The board of Barclays said Thursday that it retained confidence in Staley and would recommend him for re-election at the bank’s shareholders’ meeting in May.
