In response to Mr. Siveres claims, a Barclays spokeswoman, Kerrie Cohen, wrote in an email: Prior to requesting to be placed on leave in July 2013, Mr. Sivere raised concerns about a transaction. Barclays investigated those concerns and concluded that there was no evidence of wrongdoing or misconduct related to them. While out on leave, Mr. Sivere has raised other potential issues relating to events before and after he went on leave. As part of its whistle-blowing program, Barclays encourages employees to speak out if they believe they have learned of potentially inappropriate behavior, so that the company can investigate and take action as appropriate. If Barclays determines that any of the issues warrant further action, Barclays will take appropriate action.
