A high-flying banker has been suspended after allegedly stealing sandwiches from the staff canteen.

Paras Shah, 31, who is likely to have been earning a seven-figure salary, was removed as Citigroup’s head of high-yield bond trading for Europe, the Middle East and Africa last month.

The bank suspended him following numerous allegations that he had been stealing food from its headquarters at Canary Wharf in east London, the Financial Times reported.

It is unclear how many sandwiches Mr Shah is alleged to have stolen, or over what period the alleged thefts took place.

Bump for @Boiler. I know the tagging doesn't work but I'm doing it anyway.

Well it gets you near the top and more noticeable.

 

Hopefully nice sandwiches.

 

Not everybody has somebody to make them for them.

I have a friend who used to work for HSBC in Canary Wharf in that huge tower. I should ask about the quality of the sandwiches.

They have options underneath in the concourse.

 

Fun fact when they redeveloped the area they put in a dual carriageway that basically runs east and west, when they opened it had no speed limit signs so defaulted to the national limit of 70mph. It is bendy as well so quite good fun going through it, think it is now 30mph.

There is much more now than just under the concourse. I started working in the City in 2006 and had the occasional meeting out in Canary Wharf, options much expanded in the past decade. Very partial to the Gaucho Grill which has been around for some time -- decent steaks and excellent Malbecs. Good place to bring a date. 

 

Back when I went on dates.

   His resume says he is skilled at risk management. Which raises the question why would he be swiping sandwiches on the job when he makes that much money. Doesn't seem like good risk management.
