ZURICH, Dec 3 (Reuters) – Swiss technology firm SoftwareOne said on Wednesday searches were conducted at its offices in Leipzig, Germany and Stans, Switzerland linked to a probe into five non-executive current or former employees for potential insider-trading violations.

“SoftwareOne is not accused of any wrongdoing and is fully cooperating with the authorities,” the firm said.

SoftwareOne made its statement after Swiss prosecutors said searches were carried out in Switzerland, Germany and Britain at the residences of the accused individuals and at several company locations over suspected insider trading.

Prosecutors did not name the company.
