Ajax have suspended new CEO Alex Kroes with immediate effect on suspicion he has been involved in insider trading in the club’s shares, the club supervisory board said in a statement on Tuesday.
The board said it had learned Kroes had bought more than 17,000 Ajax shares a week before his intended appointment was announced on 2 August 2023. “External legal advice indicates that he likely engaged in insider trading,” the board said in the statement.
