Amanda Staveley was left in tears after a Barclays Plc attorney concluded his questioning with a sustained attack on her role in the bank’s fundraising at the height of the financial crisis.
As she finished testifying, Barclays lawyer Jeffery Onions accused Staveley of operating a “hustle” by inserting herself into the middle of the crucial capital raising. Onions said Staveley had exaggerated her relationship with a member of Abu Dhabi’s royal family.
