英国金融行为监管局（FCA）已启动调查，审视自身如何处理已故银行家西蒙·安德里斯的举报事宜1。安德里斯于上月去世，享年57岁1。他曾向FCA举报BGC集团首席执行官霍华德·卢特尼克与已故性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦之间存在未披露的商业联系，并在2020至2021年间向美国联邦调查局进行了汇报1。
FCA因处理不当向安德里斯道歉1。监管机构曾错误地告知这名举报人，由于身份已被曝光，他不符合举报人保护资格的条件1。为回应此事，FCA已任命新任独立董事李亚·帕特森对安德里斯遭遇的处理方式进行审查1。跨党派议会小组主席约翰·麦克唐奈呼吁由独立第三方进行更深入的调查1。爱泼斯坦于2019年8月在监狱中去世，当时正面临性贩运指控1。
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has launched an investigation into how it handled Simon Andres, a British banker who died last month at age 57.1 Andres had filed a whistleblower complaint with the FCA regarding undisclosed business connections between Howard Lutnick, chief executive of BGC Group and Andres's former employer, and Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender.1 Between 2020 and 2021, Andres also reported these allegations to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.1
The regulator has acknowledged that it provided Andres with misleading guidance, incorrectly informing him that his identity exposure rendered him ineligible for whistleblower protections.1 In response to this failure, the FCA has apologized and appointed independent board member Leah Paterson to conduct a review of how Andres was treated.1 John Macdonnell, chair of the all-party parliamentary group on investment fraud and fairer financial services, has called for the investigation to be conducted by an independent third party.1 Epstein died in prison in August 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges.1
