在2008年英国金融危机期间对英国银行高管进行的不当行为首次审判中，今天被判无罪。
这三人被指控串谋欺诈，涉嫌误导投资者和市场，原因是卡塔尔控股有限公司和挑战者环球有限公司于2008年6月和2008年10月达成了集资安排。
A spokesperson said:
Charges against Barclays Plc and Barclays Bank Plc in relation to the 2008 capital raisings were dismissed by the Crown Court in May 2018.
The High Court rejected the SFO’s application to re-instate them in October later that year and also refused permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
John Varley, former CEO of Barclays, was also charged in relation to these activities. The case against him was dismissed in April 2019.
Chris Lucas, the Chief Finance Officer of Barclays at the time of this conduct, was named as a co-conspirator on the indictment against these individuals.
But for ill-health, he would have been charged and tried.
