币界网报道:Barclays is facing a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. over its alleged financial ties to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, according to court filings. The lawsuit, filed in a New York federal court, accuses the British bank of facilitating Epstein’s sex trafficking operations by maintaining accounts for him and his associates despite red flags. Plaintiffs claim Barclays ignored internal warnings and compliance failures, enabling Epstein to move illicit funds. The bank has denied the allegations, stating it complied with all legal and regulatory requirements. The case adds to mounting legal scrutiny over financial institutions linked to Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
