Under fire deputy chief at RBS resigns

Royal Bank of Scotland’s Chris Sullivan, the deputy chief executive officer whose evidence to the parliament was criticised by legislators, has left the bank.

The 57-year-old, departed Britain’s largest taxpayer-owned lender on December 31, a spokeswoman for the Edinburgh-based bank said.

RBS said in February he would retire in 2015 after helping to oversee the restructuring of the bank. He could not be reached for comment through the bank.
