Insider trading Ex-Novum Securities broker pleads guilty to insider trading
Guilty plea leads to two-year suspended sentence
Caroline Binham, Legal Correspondent MARCH 27, 2014
A former broker at Novum Securities received a two-year suspended sentence after pleading guilty to insider-trading charges.
In a move that the Financial Conduct Authority will hope provides an incentive for others under investigation to co-operate, Graeme Shelley avoided jail time by admitting to trading 14 stocks using inside information between 2008 and 2010.
His is the second sentence arising out of the largest FCA insider-trading investigation to date, codenamed Operation Tabernula, Latin for “little pub”.
He and his alleged co-conspirator netted profits totalling more than £400,000, enabling him to pay for a Range Rover and a luxury holiday to Oman, Southwark Crown Court heard on Thursday.
Ruby Hamid, for the FCA, told the court that Shelley would meet his co-conspirator, Paul Milsom, a former equities dealer at Legal & General Investment Management, in pubs across the City several times a month to split profits from their insider dealing. Shelley would hand over as much as £50,000 cash a time to Milsom.
