Ex-Barclays boss fails to overturn City job ban over Epstein link

Former Barclays boss Jes Staley loses tribunal case challenging his ban from UK financial jobs due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The London tribunal upheld the ban but reduced his fine to £1.1m, finding he failed to disclose the nature of his relationship with Epstein accurately to the Barclays board and regulators. Staley insists he did not attempt to conceal his association with Epstein, claiming it was a professional, not personal, connection. The case involved a 2019 letter containing misleading statements about Staley's relationship with Epstein, leading to the regulator's decision.
