Once a leading figure in London's securities markets, he yesterday admitted insider trading in the shares of two British companies, AE PLC and Cadbury Schweppes PLC.
According to a report in Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper, the Department of Trade and Industry, which monitors commercial activity in Britain, asked for papers relating to the AE bid defense from Hill Samuel.
Turner & Newall's successful bid valued AE at #280 million ($461 million).
Another Morgan Grenfell director, Geoffrey Collier, resigned last month after admitting that he breached company rules by making an undisclosed investment in AE PLC, at the time the target of a takeover bid from Hollis PLC, a client of Morgan Grenfell.
Mr. Collier was charged with offenses in connection with transactions in the shares of AE and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
Demonstrations are planned today outside 15 plants of the Tate and Lyle company in Britain, the US and Canada in support of 750 workers locked out for 11 months from its AE Staley starch and sweetener subsidiary in Decatur, Illinois.
TURNER & NEWALL PLC won its bid for AE PLC, defeating a rival bid by British investor Robert Maxwell and ending a five-month struggle for control of the company.
