CNMV imposes fines of up to €90,000 for very serious market abuse offences

The CNMV has published the final sanctions for very serious market abuse offences committed by two individuals. Ms Pilar Pascual Zárate has been fined €50,000 for the unlawful disclosure of inside information (Art. 282.16.c of the Securities Market Act), while Mr Ramón Sebastián Valdelomar Ruiz has been fined €90,000 for executing share purchase transactions based on said information (Art. 282.16.b of the Securities Market Act).

In 2 key points

  1. €50,000 fine for unlawful disclosure of inside information, Art. 282.16.c (art. 282.16.c)
  2. €90,000 fine for deciding and ordering transactions using inside information, Art. 282.16.b (art. 282.16.b)

How it affects those involved

For individuals with access to inside information, the ruling highlights the risk of significant financial penalties for disclosing or using such information to trade in the market (Art. 282.16 of the Securities Market Act). The sanctions are now final through administrative channels, although they remain subject to judicial review before the National High Court.
