BANGKOK, Oct 19 (Bloomberg): Thailand is seeking to speed up criminal proceedings to crack down on insider trading, securities fraud and other illegal financial transactions, according to the nation’s top regulator.
The country’s Securities & Exchange Commission plans to have more authority to investigate criminal dealings in equities, bonds and digital assets, according to secretary general Ruenvadee Suwanmongkol.
The proposal would speed up charges as the current process, mostly done through the police, takes a long time, she said.
