The crackdown should not be aimed primarily at the Stockholm Stock Exchange, but has taken place to obtain material for an ongoing criminal investigation.
Chamber prosecutor Pontus Hamilton at EBM’s financial market chamber confirms the crackdown to Expressen, but does not want to say much more than that the case is connected to trading on the stock exchange.
— I don’t want to go into more detail about what the information is about, but it concerns crimes connected to the financial market. Market abuse offences, he tells the newspaper.
The Stockholm Stock Exchange confirms to Expressen that the police have been in contact with it for “a broader investigation”.
