Berlin Stock Exchange Supervisory Authority - File a complaint
The Exchange Supervisory Authority examines matters relating to the two stock exchanges in Berlin or to itself. In doing so, it generally examines whether there has been a violation of stock exchange law.
As a person concerned, you would like to complain about irregularities in transactions on the two stock exchanges in Berlin - Börse Berlin and Tradegate Exchange? You have received an e-mail from an exchange supervisory authority that seems dubious to you? Then you can contact the Berlin Stock Exchange Supervisory Authority with a complaint. The Exchange Supervisory Authority can, for example, inform you whether it is the sender of an e-mail.
The Exchange Supervisory Authority can check whether the legal requirements have been complied with at one of the stock exchanges in Berlin. In doing so, it acts "exclusively in the public interest", i.e. the complaint does not replace legal action (lawsuit). The Exchange Supervisory Authority can provide general information, but does not give individual legal advice like a lawyer.
