On September 5, Kristina Malekina, Junior Partner at Belsky & Partners, will speak at a webinar titled “Market manipulation: new risks for top management in deal-making” on the Action 360 platform.

Law enforcement authorities are increasingly focusing on transactions conducted on organized trading platforms. Such deals are often inconsistently classified — either as embezzlement (Articles 159 or 160 of the Criminal Code) or as market manipulation (Article 185.3 of the Criminal Code).

Transactions between private companies are also at risk, particularly those involving currency conversion or purchase. When the Central Bank identifies a price deviation, it may involve the Investigative Committee, whose officers tend to interpret such cases as market manipulation — placing company executives among the list of suspects.

Webinar agenda:

• The emerging trend of applying Article 185.3 of the Criminal Code to commercial transactions: what drives the actions of the Central Bank and the Investigative Committee.
• Market manipulation or embezzlement — which poses a greater threat to the company?
• Why top management often ends up on the suspect list in such cases.
• How to minimize management risks.
