BACKGROUND:
Former FSA boss Hector Sants joins Barclays as head of compliance
The former chief City watchdog is joining Barclays bank in a newly created role to overhaul the bank's compliance procedures following the Libor interest rate-rigging scandal and to rebuild its battered relationship with financial regulators. Stephen Gilchrist, head of City legal firm Saunders Law, said: "Appointing Hector Sants as head of compliance is a bit like Mary Queen of Scots appointing her executioner to represent her best interests. Talk about gamekeeper turned poacher." GUARDIAN
