That unit has developed sophisticated data analytics tools to more quickly detect misconduct, Reuters reported last year.\nWhile the unit initially focused on commodities futures spoofing, a type of futures market manipulation, it now has the tools and expertise to dig into other areas of the market, including industry benchmarks operated by price reporting agencies, said one of the sources.\nThe agency has also investigated some of the world's largest energy trading companies for bribery, including Dutch trading giant Vitol.\nThat and another recent case identified misconduct in relation to Platts' benchmarks.\nWhen settling bribery charges with the Justice Department in December last year, Vitol also settled related charges brought by the CFTC. As part of that settlement, Vitol paid a civil penalty to the CFTC to resolve charges of attempted manipulation of two Platts physical oil benchmarks.\nVitol said at the time it was committed to upholding the law and had cooperated \"extensively\" throughout the investigation. The company neither admitted nor denied the CFTC's allegations.\nIn March, a former oil trader for Glencore Plc pleaded guilty to Justice Department charges that he conspired to manipulate the Platts benchmark for a type of oil.\nThe Justice Department alleged that from September 2012 to August 2016 Emilio Jose Heredia Collado directed colleagues to place buy or sell orders during a Platts trading settlement window key to assessing the fuel oil price, court documents show.\nHeredia successfully swayed benchmark prices in order to benefit himself and his employers, the Justice Department alleged.\nHe is cooperating with an ongoing U.S. investigation, authorities have said in court filings as recently as August.\nHis attorney did not respond to requests for comment. Glencore declined to comment.\n\"In both these cases, the regulators did not accuse Platts of wrongdoing or provide any evidence that attempts to manipulate our assessments were successful or that our assessments did not reflect market value,\" Platts said in a statement.\nOther commodities traders are under Justice Department scrutiny. Energy trader Gunvor Group has said it is being probed by U.S. authorities for corruption in Ecuador after a former employee pleaded guilty to bribery charges in April.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"SPGI":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2431,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"CN","currentLanguage":"CN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":10,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ZH_CN"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/820300795"}
