Barclays fraud charge setback a ‘punch in the gut’ for Serious Fraud Office

By Securities Docket on May 29, 2018, 7:20 am

Southwark Crown Court dismissed all charges against Barclays over an £11.8bn emergency cash call backed by Qatar at the height of the financial crisis, allowing the bank to avoid a state bail-out, unlike rivals RBS and Lloyds.
