“At the moment we have 75 registered cases of which 42 are ongoing — they’ve been allocated and are being investigated currently,” Alex Pascoe, who heads up the FSCA’s market abuse investigation team, told Business Day in an interview. We’ve got 33 that are registered but are still to be investigated. We’re not investigating the companies — we investigate the securities within these companies. They are listed securities as per the FMA [financial markets act].

“We do have another investigation that sits on another exchange,” he said without giving further detail. “We’ve had dual-listed cases that have come from the US and the SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] have come out here with the FBI and they just can’t believe the depth and the information that’s available...not only to us but to the surveillance team,” he said. “It’s a well-regarded surveillance system.”
