美上訴法院推翻匯控(00005.HK)前高層外匯交易詐騙定罪 案件發還重審
阿思達克 07-18 09:16
美國紐約曼哈頓的美國第二巡迴上訴法院,以3比0推翻法庭2017年對匯控(00005.HK)全球外匯交易前主管Mark Johnson的欺詐定罪。Johnson被指對一間英國油氣勘探公司Cairn Energy(現稱Capricorn Energy)(CNE.L)的35億美元貨幣交易進行「搶先交易」,被判入獄兩年。 控方指,Cairn在2011年委託被告和另一位匯豐前高層將35億美元兌換成英鎊,以準備出售其印度子公司。該兩名高層完成交易前爲自己的匯豐賬戶購買英鎊,獲利約700萬美元。陪審團2017年裁定Johnson罪成,上訴法院2019年維持原判。 但上訴法院昨日(17日)指,美國最高法院2023年在另一宗案件否定對Johnson定罪所依據的欺詐理論,意味被告不能因違背不擡高英鎊價格的承諾而被判定剝奪Cairn對其資產的控制權,且「嚴重懷疑」控方提出另一種欺詐理論,即欺騙該匯豐客戶。 法官亦指,被告通過挪用Cairn的機密信息爲自己謀利的證據薄弱,陪審團不太可能僅基於此判定被告有罪。上訴法院決定將案件發還美國地區法官重審。
