Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative assistance to the French COB was admissible under the Swiss Stock Exchange Act.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The request was based on sufficient indications of possible market manipulation, and the appealants' explanations did not defeat assistance.
Motivazione estratta
The requested information related to suspected insider trading and was linked to the foreign investigation. Switzerland need only verify enough indicia of possible market disturbance; it need not assess the foreign authority's evidentiary strategy or resolve the merits itself.
