ESMA shall refer matters for criminal prosecution to the relevant national authorities where, in carrying out its duties under this Regulation, it finds that there are serious indications of the possible existence of facts liable to constitute criminal offences.
Kadar ESMA pri opravljanju svojih nalog v skladu s to uredbo ugotovi, da obstajajo resni znaki o možnih dejanjih, ki bi lahko veljala za kazniva dejanja, zadeve za kazenski pregon predloži pristojnim nacionalnim organom.
