A former Jefferies Group saleswoman sued the investment bank for 3.5 million pounds ($5.4 million), saying male colleagues treated female co-workers as “sex objects” and fostered a "culture of discrimination" that led her to quit.
Dalal Alaoui Belghiti, who worked on the company’s European credit sales team until March 2014, told a London court that her mental health suffered as she became “isolated and excluded” by male staff. The bank said her allegations were unfounded.
