Insider trading conviction upheld of UBS compliance officer
ByNeasaMacErlean
The Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of a former UBS compliance officer who claimed she was searching on the company’s
computer systems to educate herself rather than tipping off a friend for the purposes of insider trading. Fabiana Abdel-Malek
must now return to jail and serve the rest of the three-year sentence she was given, following an FCA prosecution, in June
2019.
