Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - Prohibited trading in internal information from securities trading is now the focus of a process before the Frankfurt Regional Court.
Two businessmen, 33 and 35 years old, are charged.
As an employee of an investment company, the younger is said to have provided the older with information about upcoming takeovers of companies, each of which led to strong price increases.
Therefore, according to the indictment, the 35-year-old made a profit of around seven million euros, of which 140,000 euros went to the tipster.
The commercial criminal chamber has initially scheduled seven days of hearing until the beginning of June.
