Former Barclays Chief Executive Jes Staley was fined 1.8 million pounds (U.S. $2.2 million) and banned from serving in a senior management role in the financial services industry by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for allegedly misleading the regulator regarding his ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Staley “recklessly” approved a letter from Barclays to the FCA that lied about the nature of his relationship with Epstein and when their last contact occurred, the regulator said Thursday in a press release.
Staley appealed the FCA’s decision to a tribunal.
