U.K. prosecutors will question Robert Diamond, former chief executive officer of Barclays Plc, in a probe into fees paid to Qatar’s sovereign-wealth fund as the bank sought to raise money to avoid a government bailout, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Diamond is one of 12 individuals the U.K. Serious Fraud Office asked to interview under caution, according to a person with knowledge of the request who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. Anything said in an interview under caution can be used as evidence in a criminal trial.
