At last, 9 years after the fact, the Serious Fraud Office has charged Barclays PLC along with four of its former executives with conspiracy to commit fraud and the provision of unlawful financial assistance. This allegation relates to Barclays Bank's avoidance of a UK bailout by seeking funds amounting to £7 Billion from Qatar.
