Rose West was allowed to keep her account after execs decided not to ‘de-bank’ her
They believed her mass murderer tag posed “little risk” to The Cooperative Bank’s reputation.
Former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage lost his account with posh Coutts because of the “reputational risk”.
Mr Farage said: “My sins are considered by the banking industry to be more serious than the acts of serial killers like Rose West.”
An insider told the Telegraph that the Co-op reviewed accounts belonging to criminals in 2014 in a “clean up”.
But it was decided closing West’s would cause problems for her daughter, who was the main user.
West, 69, was jailed for life in 1995 for ten murders in Gloucester with her husband Fred.
