In June 2017, following a five-year investigation by the UK's Serious Fraud Office covering Barclays' activities during the financial crisis of 2007–2008, the former Barclays chief executive John Varley and three former colleagues, Roger Jenkins, Kalaris and Richard Boath were charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and the provision of unlawful financial assistance.[5][6]
In February 2020, Kalaris, along with Roger Jenkins and Richard Boath, were found not guilty on all charges.[7]
In August 2024, Kalaris lost an appeal in a London tribunal to overturn a decision by the UK Financial Conduct Authority that barred him from holding senior industry positions.[8]
