Barclays subpoenaed by U.S. Virgin Islands over connections to late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein

“Barclays has already provided its response to this subpoena and complied with its obligations,” a spokesperson for the bank told CNBC.

The Virgin Islands “is now in the process of serving a similar subpoena on Barclays in the UK and Barclays will respond to that subpoena once it is served,” the spokesperson said.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office for the district of the Virgin Islands did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the subpoenas.

The Virgin Islands’ first subpoena to Barclays sought a range of materials related to Epstein-linked accounts, including transactions and investments, CNBC learned.

That subpoena also requested communications between Epstein and Staley, who agreed to step down from his role at Barclays after the company reviewed preliminary conclusions from an investigation into his relationship with the dead sex offender.

C.S. Venkatakrishnan, known as Venkat, replaced Staley as Barclays chief executive as of Monday, the bank said in a statement.

The probe, conducted by the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, did not find that Staley was aware of any alleged crimes committed by Epstein, the bank’s statement noted.

Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on child sex trafficking charges but hanged himself a month later in a Manhattan federal jail.
