The father of a young woman allegedly harassed by the so-called Wolf of Shenfield is suspected of arranging for him to be shot as a ‘punishment’.
Lee Victory, 51, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder City trader Robin Clark after police raided his home.
He works at the same brokers that Mr Clark left shortly after a complaint about his treatment of Mr Victory’s daughter Danielle, 23.
At the time she worked on the Euro desk at brokers BGC, which was headed by Mr Clark. He earned millions as a senior managing director.
It is understood that Miss Victory was at the centre of several complaints that Mr Clark made sexual comments towards her.
Mr Clark is accused of promising the junior broker ‘the world’ and asking if she would sleep with him.
Rumours also swirled around the brokerage firm that he tried to take a photograph up her skirt at a glamorous charity dinner.
Mr Victory, who is from London’s East End and now lives in Essex, is a veteran employee at BGC and personal friend of president Shaun Lynn.
His daughter has left BGC since the controversy over her alleged harassment and joined a recruitment firm in Essex.
Mr Clark landed a new £400,000-a-year job at another City firm but has been plagued by financial problems, which sparked a fire sale of his assets.
It is understood Mr Victory, who has a keen interest in cage fighting, was away in Dubai on business when Mr Clark was shot shortly before 6am on January 24.
The twice-divorced father-of-four was getting out of his car at Shenfield rail station, Essex, when a gunman in a balaclava confronted him.
