Barclays and four former execs charged with fraud over Qatar deal

摘要

Barclays and four former senior executives have been criminally charged by Britain's fraud office for not disclosing payments made to Qatari investors by the British bank in an emergency fundraising nine years ago. The Serious Fraud Office said last week it was charging Barclays with conspiracy to commit fraud and unlawful financial assistance. That could land it with a hefty fine.
