The case refers to an investment made by Ola Rollen in Next Biometrics in 2015.

On Monday, Ola Rollen, Hexagon AB’s CEO, declared that he is not guilty at the start of his month-long criminal trial for suspected insider share trading in Norway.

If convicted, he faces up to 6 years in prison for an investment in Next Biometrics made in 2015.

Significantly, the transaction did not involve Hexagon.

When asked by the trial judge whether he would plead guilty as charged by the prosecution, Rollen said “No”.
