City Analyst’s Colleague Claims ‘Communication Challenges’ During Lockdown in £1M Insider Deal Case

A former City analyst, Redinel Korfuzi, is embroiled in an insider trading case that reportedly earned him nearly £1 million during the pandemic. Charged alongside his sister and two others, Korfuzi allegedly exploited the anonymity offered by lockdowns to enact his scheme from his London home. Communication challenges during this period were underscored by Jamie Ross, a colleague at Janus Henderson, who recounted how interactions shifted from in-person discussions to platforms like WhatsApp. Korfuzi has denied the charges linked to trading on confidential information from firms including Daimler and Jet2. As the trial progresses, it raises vital questions about oversight and ethics in finance amid unprecedented circumstances.
