Court reveals further details on Amaya’s insider trading probe warrant

Quebec court lifted a publication ban on an updated search warrant drafted by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), revealing further details on Amaya insider trading investigation.

The court confirmed that the AMF seized a computers, e-mail, and phone records belonging from three Amaya officials, including its CEO David Baazov, CFO Daniel Sebag and an unnamed manager, the Globe and Mail reported.

Records were also seized from Amaya’s deal adviser Canaccord Genuity Corp. senior executive, broker and a broker’s assistant along with documents from 15 brokers in the Montreal branch of Manulife Securities.

The names of the employees were censored in the warrant for legal purposes, but last month, there were reports revealing that two of the Canaccord targets are Bay Street firm’s wealth management unit CEO Stuart Raftus and broker Peter Kirby.
