During the market surveillance procedure, the central bank established that the company’s head of strategy Ádám Orbók made end-of-session trades to boost the companyʼs share price.
Orbók claimed his aim was to draw the scrutiny of the central bank and financial market regulator to prompt a probe, the MNB said.
The MNB reported Orbók to the Budapest Municipal Prosecutor and posted a warning concerning him on its website.
