"The French market regulator has cleared 17 current and former executives of Airbus' parent company EADS of insider trading in a multimillion-dollar scandal, citing a lack of evidence to show they used knowledge of delays to the A380 superjumbo program when selling their shares.
Thursday's decision follows a nearly 3-year probe, and a week of closed-door hearings, into what the EADS executives and board members knew about technical problems with the Airbus' A380 superjumbo and mid-range A350 aircraft. They were suspected of using such insider information when they sold shares or exercised stock options worth millions of euros (dollars) in 2005 and early 2006"
