Daishin Securities said on Monday it completed a criminal complaint last year against a former employee, identified only as A, who is suspected of violating the Capital Markets Act. It said it is also cooperating fully with an ongoing investigation by authorities.
Daishin Securities said it launched an internal audit in June last year immediately after it became aware of the allegations. Based on the internal findings, it filed a criminal complaint with police against A. It also imposed disciplinary action at the company level.
A is known to be under investigation by authorities in the first half of 2025 over suspected breaches of the Capital Markets Act, the Financial Real Name Act and the Electronic Financial Transactions Act. A resigned late last year.
A Daishin Securities official said, "We are responding to illegal acts under a zero-tolerance principle, and we are also cooperating fully with investigations by relevant authorities."
