Did the financial crisis change banking?
Manage episode 230905066 series 2456487
There’s a story you won’t hear much about today — because it’s a story that didn’t really happen. The former chief executive of Barclays John Varley and three other former senior bankers were on trial accused of fraud, the first time criminal charges were brought against the head of a global bank for activities during the financial crisis. And this morning the jury was discharged. The BBC’s business editor Simon Jack has been covering the crisis and its aftermath since the beginning. He spoke to us about whether lessons have been learnt in the past decade.
Producers: Lucy Hancock and Seren Jones Mixed by Weidong Lin Editor: Harriet Noble
