  Reason given

  Bekanntmachung zu Geldbußen hinsichtlich fehlender Information über die Dauer der Aufbewahrung von Telefonaufzeichnungen und nicht erfolgter Schaffung wirksamer Regelungen gegen Insiderhandel und Marktmanipulation Die Finanzaufsicht BaFin hat am 31. März 2025 Geldbußen in Höhe von 395.000 Euro gegen die AKBANK AG festgesetzt. Der Sanktion lagen Verstöße gegen § 83 Absatz 5 Wertpapierhandelsgesetz (WpHG) in Verbindung mit Artikel 76 Absatz 8 der Delegierten Verordnung (EU) 2017/565 sowie Artikel 16 Absatz 2 Satz 1 der Marktmissbrauchsverordnung (Market Abuse Regulation – MAR) zugrunde. Die AKBANK AG hatte ihre Kundinnen und Kunden nicht darüber informiert, dass eine Kopie der Aufzeichnungen von Telefongesprächen über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren zur Verfügung stehen wird. Zudem hatte die AKBANK AG keine wirksamen Regelungen, Systeme und Verfahren zur Aufdeckung von verdächtigen Aufträgen und Geschäften geschaffen. Das Unternehmen kann gegen den Bußgeldbescheid Einspruch einlegen. Aktualisierung (25.04.2025): Der Bußgeldbescheid ist rechtskräftig. [original (German)] Announcement on administrative fines relating to failure to provide information on the retention period for telephone recordings and failure to establish effective arrangements against insider trading and market manipulation On 31 March 2025, BaFin imposed administrative fines amounting to EUR 395,000 on AKBANK AG. The sanction was imposed due to contraventions of section 83 (5) of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG) in conjunction with Article 76(8) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as well as Article 16 (2)(1) of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). AKBANK AG had failed to inform its customers that it was retaining copies of recordings of telephone conversations for a period of 5 years. Furthermore, AKBANK AG had not established any effective arrangements, systems or procedures for detecting and reporting suspicious orders and transactions. The company may lodge an appeal against the administrative fine order. Update (25.04.2025): The administrative fine order is final and binding.

Where the company is registered or connected

• DE: registered here

  No company register for this jurisdiction has been connected to this system, and none has been examined. No register here states who owns its companies.

• Whether each listing was in force is rebuilt from what was recorded here: when it was first read, when a source stopped or resumed carrying it, and when its published term ended. A listing in force at an authority before this system first read it is shown from that first read.
• No ownership verdict is kept for this company. Verdicts are kept for companies registered where shareholders are read here: Estonia, Latvia and Poland.

For each source behind this file, the newest read made on or before the date: the version of it that stood.
