裁判官、インサイダー取引か　金融庁出向中、ＴＯＢ審査担当―監視委が強制調査

　金融庁に出向中の裁判官が、業務で知ったＴＯＢ（株式公開買い付け）情報などを基に企業の株式を売買した疑いがあるとして、証券取引等監視委員会が金融商品取引法違反（インサイダー取引）容疑で強制調査していたことが１９日、関係者への取材で分かった。
　最高裁は若手裁判官らに幅広い経験を積ませるため、行政機関などに出向させている。
　関係者によると、裁判官は３０代男性で金融庁に出向中。企画市場局企業開示課でＴＯＢを予定する企業の書類審査を担当していた際、ＴＯＢ情報などを基に企業の株式を本人名義で売買し、利益を得ていた疑いがあるという。
　監視委は今夏以降、この裁判官の関係先を強制調査し、東京地検特捜部への告発を視野に詳細な取引状況を調べている。（2024/10/19-11:18）

Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission has conducted compulsory probes into a judge seconded to the Financial Services Agency on suspicion of insider trading in shares, sources said Saturday.
   The judge in his 30s is believed to have traded company shares in his own name and made a profit, based on inside information he acquired during his work at the Corporate Accounting and Disclosure Division of the FSA's Policy and Markets Bureau to examine documents for companies planning to launch tender offers, the sources said.
   The Supreme Court assigns young judges to various administrative organizations to broaden their professional experiences.
   Since summer, the SESC has been investigating individuals and places related to the judge and scrutinizing his transaction details, aiming to lodge a criminal complaint with the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.
   The financial instruments and exchange law prohibits corporate officials privy to important information, such as tender offers, from trading related shares before the information is made public. Government officials with authority over companies are also banned from trading shares based on undisclosed information acquired through their official duties.
