A former boss of Barclays, who was ousted from the bank over his links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, will seek to clear his name in court this week. Jes Staley was forced out in November 2021 after UK regulators ruled he had failed to accurately disclose the nature and length of his relationship with Epstein to the Barclays board. The episode cost Mr Staley, a man with a glittering and rewarding career in investment banking, £18m in pay and bonuses and, more importantly for the 68-year-old, his reputation. Mr Staley is seeking to overturn a decision by the Financial Conduct Authority in 2023 banning him from holding a senior position in financial services.
