Question juridique clé
Whether administrative assistance under Art. 38 LBVM was proportionate and permissible despite the appellant's explanations and alleged absence of insider-trading suspicion.
Solution extraite
The request was sufficiently founded on unusual market activity and trading via a Swiss bank; assistance could be granted, and the appellant's explanations did not bar transmission to the requesting authority.
Motifs extraits
The foreign authority had enough objective indicators to suspect market abuse. The Swiss authority need only verify the assistance conditions and need not assess the appellant's subjective motives or the ultimate merits of the foreign investigation.
