LeoVegas said Tuesday authorities have launched an probe into insider trading in LeoVegas shares.

On the 7 of June LeoVegas Group was contacted by the Swedish Economic Crime Authority due to a preliminary investigation concerning suspected insider trading in the company’s shares.

Insider trading laws prohibit employees and board members from trading based on non-public information about a company. LeoVegas is fully assisting the authorities in their investigation.

No employee, member in the management team or board member in the Company has been notified about any criminal suspicion.

The company has no further information to provide. All questions concerning the preliminary investigation need to be directed to the Swedish Economic Crime Authority.
