Market Chatter: Sony Life Launches Probes Over Alleged Customer Fraud Cases

-- Sony Group's (TYO:6758) insurance arm, Sony Life Insurance, is investigating roughly 20 to 30 instances of alleged financial misconduct committed against its customers, Nikkei Asia reported on Thursday.

The insurer plans to launch a comprehensive internal probe, while Japan's Financial Services Agency is considering ordering the company to submit a formal report on the matter, the news agency said.

In January, Sony Life had already disclosed that a former employee misappropriated customer funds that had been entrusted for investment purposes, the publication said.
