Questão jurídica principal
Whether administrative assistance to Consob complied with the principles of speciality and confidentiality under Art. 38 LBVM.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Under the amended Italian framework, Consob was sufficiently bound to use and further transmit the information only within the limits required by Swiss law.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the current Italian rules now expressly prohibit transmission to third parties or other Italian authorities, including the Minister of Economy and Finance, without the providing authority’s consent, and that administrative sanctions are now imposed directly by Consob. This provides an effective safeguard.
