Questione giuridica chiave
Whether international administrative assistance under Art. 38 BEHG was admissible despite the appellant's objections to specialty, confidentiality, and proportionality.
Decisione estratta
The assistance requirements were met; the request disclosed a sufficient initial suspicion, and the appellant did not clearly rebut it.
Motivazione estratta
The German authority sought supervisory information for market oversight, not a criminal-law workaround. The close temporal link between the trades and the takeover announcement supported an initial suspicion of insider dealing. The Swiss authority was not required to verify the truth of the foreign authority's allegations, only to ensure the request was concrete and not a fishing expedition.
