Lapinski accused of manipulating shares

According to the commission, Lapinski artificially increased the prices of particular companies' shares. As a result, the value of future contracts rose too, which stood to benefit Lapinski's company as an investor of funds in this market. Lapinski denies these charges. The commission has not suspended the manager's licence, though. His boss, Boguslaw Grabowski, the president of the board of Skarbiec Asset Management Holding has already expressed his full support and trust in Lapinski. He also pointed out that only a few cases denounced by the commission have been brought before the courts. Lapinski will testify in the coming week (Parkiet, p.1) J.L.
