16 Jan 2026 M. van Wettum (indirekter Direktor einer an NX Filtration N.V. beteiligten Gesellschaft)Marking the close at NX Filtration: 625,000 EUR fine for investor €625,000
On the last trading day of 2023, shortly before the market close, the investor had NX Filtration shares bought in order – according to a recorded telephone call – to raise the closing price from 6.30 to 6.70 EUR, which succeeded. The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) classified this as market manipulation ("marking the close") and imposed a fine of 625,000 EUR.
Influencing share prices on balance sheet dates is market manipulation – broker orders with price targets are recorded and analysed.
Prohibited price support at year-end (marking the close)
