Barclays is under increasing pressure from its shareholders to claw back bonuses from those bankers responsible for the "elephant deal" scandal that resulted in the bank being fined £72m last week, as well as causing the bank to have its reputation tarnished again. Most of the senior people in the wealth division where the failings took place have left, however, and it is understood that some of them are owed deferred bonuses as they come due. Barclays has said that the "bank considers individual accountability and ensures that remuneration is reduced where appropriate... it is not possible or appropriate to comment on individual cases".
