Former Mizuho International Plc investment banker Thomas Ammann was sentenced to 32 months in prison for passing inside information about deals he was advising on to two women he was dating.

Ammann, a 39-year-old German national who worked on the Mizuho mergers and acquisitions team advising Canon Inc. on its takeover of OCE NV, must serve half of the sentence, Judge Anthony Leonard ruled today.
