Former Financial Services Authority (FSA) chief executive Hector Sants is to receive a £3 million remuneration package in his new job as Barclays head of compliance, according to the Financial Times.

The paper cited people familiar with the deal as claiming Sants' basic salary will be £700,000. His annual bonus will be around £1 million depending on performance, and he will receive up to £1.5 million paid over at least three years as part of a performance-based long-term incentive plan (LTIP), the paper said.

The FT said the package would place Sants (pictured) among the 10 best-paid executives at the bank. Barclays would not comment to the paper on the figures but said that executives LTIP had only paid out 37% of the maximum over the past five years.

Ha! So Santa has come early for Sants!

Looks like Sants has got his "claws" into a very lucrative Christmas package here ...

This is crazy the man was head of the FSA which stood by ineptly while this credit crisis was allowed to happen not to say the LIBOR scandal, he proved to be completely useless at his job or complicit. So why give him another top job in the private sector overseeing the very thing he failed at. Never mine rewarding him handsomely!

i know that it is nepotism at work, but the pay is £2.9999m too much after his performance at the FSA.

When are these so called management going to be drummed out?

Who ever would have thought it when we were at school together? Should I send a begging letter, do you suppose?

Here we go again --- the City boys taking care of their own. How on earth do the shareholders put up with it?
