LONDON (Alliance News) - The UK's Serious Fraud Office wants to discuss the possibility of a deferred prosecution agreement with Barclays PLC over how it raised billions of pounds with Qatari investors during the global financial crisis, according to a Financial Times report on Tuesday.
Citing people familiar with the investigation, the report said discussions are "very early stage" and that no offer has been made.
"We are not in a position to comment on an ongoing legal matter, save to clarify that there has been no offer made of a DPA," Barclays said.
