International Insider Trading Case Map: Q1 Update

For whatever reason, the International Insider Trading Case Map that we introduced on November 26, 2008 has become wildly popular, with over 20,000 page views to date!  I am updating it quarterly now, so with Q1 in the books it is time to take a look at the latest and greatest insider trading cases going on worldwide.

Since the last update on January 24, 2009, several new countries have earned a place on our map, including South Korea, Brazil, Israel and Sweden.  Other countries such as the UK and Hong Kong have seen great surges in insider trading enforcement, to the point that the cases in the UK are starting to crowd out all of the map space!

The updates to the International Insider Trading Case Map are as follows:

January 29, 2009 (S. Korea): FSS Seeks Authority to Obtain E-Mail and Phone Records of Suspicious Traders

January 29, 2009 (UK): Former Cazenove Banker Ordered to Stand Trial on Insider Trading Charges

February 4, 2009 (UK): Falklands Speaker of the Legislative Council Fined for Insider Trading

February 8, 2009 (Brazil): Regulator CVMs Probing Possible Insider Trading in Banestes SA

February 9, 2009 (Japan): Fund Manager Convicted of Insider Trading, but Prison Sentence Suspended

February 18, 2009 (Israel): Israel Securities Authority Arrests Investment Bank CEO on Insider Trading Charges

February 23, 2009: (UK): First Insider Trading Trial in Four Years Underway in Southwark

March 5, 2009 (France): GLG Discloses Dismissal of Appeal in Insider Trading Case

March 12, 2009 (Hong Kong): Former Investment Banker Found Guilty in First-Ever Insider Trading Trial

March 27, 2009 (Sweden): Prosecutors Allege Largest Insider Trading Scandal in Swedish History

March 27, 2009 (UK): FSA Obtains First-Ever Criminal Convictions for Insider Trading

March 31, 2009 (Hong Kong): SFC Obtains Third Criminal Conviction for Insider Trading in Last Twelve Months

I have added all of these cases to the International Insider Trading Case Map below. Please click on any part of this interactive map for additional details and links to articles about each case.
