The husband of a former Amazon.com Inc finance manager who leaked confidential information about the online retailer’s financial performance pleaded guilty on Thursday to an insider trading charge, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

Prosecutors said Viky Bohra, 36, of Bothell, Washington, pleaded guilty to securities fraud, admitting that from 2015 to 2018 he used tips provided by his wife Laksha to make $1.43 million of illegal profit trading Amazon stock.
