Ex-Barclays chief executive Jes Staley’s reputation was “irretrievably damaged” by the financial watchdog’s decision to ban him from top jobs in the City over his ties to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a tribunal has been told.
Mr Staley told the Upper Tribunal that he was “professionally fairly close” to Epstein during his career in the finance industry, but said they were “not personal friends”.
