Barclays fraud case: Roger Jenkins — pivotal role in capital raising

As the head of investment banking and investment management in the Middle East for Barclays, Roger Jenkins played a pivotal role in organising the two capital raisings backed by the royal families of Qatar and Abu Dhabi that allowed it to avoid being bailed out by the UK government. Mr Jenkins developed a speciality for structuring tax-efficient financing for companies. Diana Jenkins claimed her friendship with the wife of Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, Qatar Holding's chairman, led to the introduction that saw the Qatar Investment Authority make a large equity investment in Barclays. After studying economics at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Mr Jenkins joined Barclays as a trainee in 1978. Since leaving Barclays in 2009, Mr Jenkins has been based at his home in Malibu, California.
