The US Virgin Islands has served Barclays in the UK with a court order to provide any documents linked to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

The US territory is seeking information on transactions, correspondence and investments linked to the financier.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The bank was subpoenaed in New York on the matter in February this year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

A Barclays spokesperson said: \u201cBarclays has already provided its response to this subpoena and complied with its obligations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThe US Virgin Islands is now in the process of serving a similar subpoena on Barclays in the UK and Barclays will respond to that subpoena once it is served.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BBC understands there is no link between the subpoena and Jes Staley\u2019s recent shock resignation as Barclays chief executive, or the FCA probe into his links to Mr Epstein.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Following the conclusion of the investigation, Mr Staley left his job suddenly this week after more than six years at Barclays.<\/p>\n

It had focussed on Mr Staley\u2019s links with the dead financier and whether they were closer than first thought.<\/p>
