How bank corruption tsar was probed for promoting woman he had affair with

- by James Burton

AN anti-corruption chief who quit Standard Chartered after allegation­s of misbehavio­ur during an affair has got a job helping Aviva tackle financial crime.

Matt Chapman – former head of the anti-bribery and corruption team at the bank – was reportedly quizzed over claims he changed a review by the woman’s manager to give her a higher mark.

He also gave her a promotion

before he left last year, according to financial news service Bloomberg. Chapman ( pictured) has since joined Aviva as a contractor on its financial crime transforma­tion team. It follows a crackdown on misbehavio­ur at Standard Chartered, which is headquarte­red in the City but earns

most of its money in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Other staff have been probed for abusive and racist comments, buying Louis Vuitton handbags on expenses and other inappropri­ate behaviour. Last week it emerged that the bank’s head of compliance Neil Barry had left the

bank following complaints about inappropri­ate comments. Standard Chartered has hired a team of former spies to try and bring behaviour under control.

The bank and Chapman declined to comment on the circumstan­ces around his departure.
