SFO seeks to reinstate charges regarding matters which arose in the
context of Barclays' capital raisings in 2008
On 21 May 2018 Barclays announced that the Crown Court had
dismissed all of the charges that had been brought by the Serious
Fraud Office ("SFO") against Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC
regarding matters which arose in the context of Barclays' capital
raisings in 2008. Barclays noted at the time its expectation that
the SFO was likely to seek to reinstate those charges by
application to a High Court Judge to recommence proceedings via a
new indictment of the same charges.
On 23 July 2018 the SFO made an application to the High Court
seeking to reinstate against Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC all
of the charges dismissed by the Crown Court. Barclays intends to
defend the application brought by the SFO.
