A Citigroup senior executive has been let go just days after reports surfaced that he previously met with disgraced financier and sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Citigroup dismissed Paul Barrett after learning the senior executive met with Epstein while working for rival bank JPMorgan, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

"Until recently, Citi was unaware of Paul Barrett's association with Jeffrey Epstein, which predated his employment at our firm," the bank told the Financial Times. "Mr. Barrett is no longer employed by Citi."
