NEWS Semiconductor manufacturer Infineon has become the subject of an investigation by the German capital market regulator, BaWe. BaWe is looking into share movements around the time of a third quarter profits warning on 20 June last year. The news saw shares fall almost 15 per cent in the company but earlier sell orders on 19 June - the day before - pushed Infineon's share price down 2.6 per cent. BaWe is concerned the 19 June sales were on the back of insider knowledge. Infineon has been traded on the German stock exchange since shortly after the company won its independence from Siemens.
