AFC Ajax Suspends CEO Over Insider Trading Allegations

AFC Ajax has suspended chief executive Alex Kroes over allegations of insider trading before his appointment at the Eredivisie club. The Dutch giants claimed that Kroes purchased 17,000 club shares a week before his official announcement as chairman and CEO in August 2023.

In a statement, the club expressed its disappointment and emphasized that insider trading is a criminal offense. The decision to suspend Kroes was made following external legal advice that confirmed the likelihood of his involvement in insider trading.

Kroes’s Response

Consequences and Club’s Stance

The news of Kroes’s suspension comes at a challenging time for AFC Ajax, who are currently struggling in the domestic league and facing potential exclusion from European competitions.
