ESMA shall refer matters for criminal prosecution to the appropriate authorities for investigation and possible criminal prosecution 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 dejstvih, ki bi lahko predstavljala kazniva dejanja, zadeve za kazenski pregon predloži pristojnim nacionalnim organom.
