John Varley, one of

directors charged with
fraud
relates to a £2.3bn loan
advanced to Qatar after the Qatar Holdings
fundraisings were negotiated,
the implication being that
there was a money-go-round
inducement at work.
£12 bn
lent to Barclays in 2008
£332m
Paid to Qatari Holdings

just a fine for the bank as the bank holds a banking licence that
allows it to operate in different countries. If Barclays were found
guilty, it could lose this crucial licence.
