The individuals were arrested during a raid in the Stockholm area on Tuesday after a longer period of surveillance. Electronic equipment was also seized at the time.
According to the authorities, the suspicions of crime concern, among other things, extensive stock trading during the autumn of 2024 and the spring of 2025, before information about the acquisition of two different listed companies had been made public.
According to Di, it is about profits of over 70 million kronor before the bids on Tethys Oil and Fortnox.
”The suspicions concern repeated criminal activity where a large number of suspects with internal connections have repeatedly traded in a coordinated manner with large amounts. In this way, it is insider trading on a level we have hardly seen before”, says Jonas Myrdal, acting vice chief prosecutor and leader of the preliminary investigation at the Economic Crimes Authority, in a comment.
