LONDON (Alliance News) - The UK's Serious Fraud Office has stepped up its probe into Barclays PLC's dealings in Qatar, the Financial Times reported Sunday.
According to the FT, former chief executives Bob Diamond and John Varley are set to be questioned under caution by the SFO.
The FT said the development represents an acceleration of the SFO's probe into alleged corrupt arrangements in Qatar as part of Barclays' emergency capital raising in 2008.
