Former chief executive, Kaupthing Bank

Convicted by the Supreme Court of Iceland in 2015 in the al-Thani share purchase proceedings

Register entry

Hreidar Mar Sigurdsson is recorded in this register under the heading “Court record”, in connection with the role of Former chief executive, Kaupthing Bank. The entry is filed to Reykjavik (Iceland), which is the location associated with the role in the published material rather than a statement of present residence or employment.

The Icelandic Supreme Court recorded findings of market manipulation and breach of fiduciary duty in relation to a share purchase financed shortly before the bank's collapse. The register reproduces the substance of the linked source and does not extend it. Where a matter has been appealed, reopened, or closed without findings, that position is stated as the source states it, and the summary line for this entry reads: “Convicted by the Supreme Court of Iceland in 2015 in the al-Thani share purchase proceedings.”

The entry rests on a published judicial decision or an established news agency report of one. It records the finding as the court expressed it, and nothing beyond it. Readers assessing counterparty, employment or reputational risk should treat this page as a signpost to the primary material — cited here as Supreme Court of Iceland / Reuters — and should verify current status directly with the issuing court, authority or publisher before acting. Corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled through the register's legal notice.
