三菱ＵＦＪ銀を強制調査　行員、ＴＯＢ情報漏えいか―金商法違反の疑い・監視委

　三菱ＵＦＪ銀行の行員が、取引先の未公開情報を親族らに漏えいした疑いがあるとして、証券取引等監視委員会が５月、金融商品取引法違反の疑いで行員の自宅や三菱ＵＦＪ銀行本社（東京都千代田区）などに強制調査に入ったことが９日、関係者への取材で分かった。
　金商法は、上場会社の重要事実を公表前に知った会社関係者が、他人に利益を得させたり、損失を回避させたりする目的で情報を伝達することを禁止している。
　関係者によると、行員は本社勤務の３０代男性。同行の顧客企業がＴＯＢ（株式公開買い付け）を行うという情報を知り、公表前に複数回にわたって親族らに伝えた疑いが持たれている。親族らは公表前に顧客企業の株を購入し、不正に利益を得たという。
　行員自身は利益を得ていないとみられ、監視委の調べに「親族らが株取引をしているとは知らなかった」などと説明しているという。（2024/07/09-10:21）

Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission raided the home of an MUFG Bank employee who allegedly leaked insider information, as well as the head office of the major Japanese bank and other places in May, it was learned Tuesday.
   The securities market watchdog suspects that the MUFG Bank employee in his 30s, who works at the bank's head office in Tokyo, violated the financial instruments and exchange law by providing his relatives with undisclosed information about a client company of the bank.
   The law bans people related to listed companies who learn about important information on the firms before announcement from transmitting the undisclosed information to others for the purpose of helping them gain profits or avoid losses.
   According to sources familiar with the matter, the MUFG Bank employee, who learned about confidential information that a client company of the bank would conduct a tender offer, is suspected of passing the information to his relatives several times before the announcement of the planned bid.
   The relatives purchased shares in the client company before the announcement and gained profits illegally, the sources said.
