On 10 March 2026, BaFin imposed an administrative fine amounting to €1,650,000 on Barclays PLC.

The sanction related to a breach of section 130 (1) of the German Act on Breaches of Administrative Regulations (Ordnungswidrigkeitengesetz – OWiG) in conjunction with section 33 (1) sentence 1, section 34 (1) sentence 1, section 38 (1) sentence 1 and section 39 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG).

The company may lodge an appeal against the administrative fine order.
