(Reuters) – South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is not currently investigating Hyundai Motor executives’ share sales, a regulatory official said on Tuesday.

The official, who asked not to be identified, made the statement amid concerns of insider trading by Hyundai executives after stock sales following reports of a possible cooperation between Hyundai and Apple.
