BUDAPEST — Hungarian financial markets regulator PSZAF said Monday that it had closed an investigation into Surgutneftegaz’s 2009 purchase of a stake in oil group MOL without taking any steps.

PSZAF spokesman Istvan Binder said the investigation was into Surgut’s purchase of a 21 percent stake in MOL from Austria’s OMV, which the two companies announced on March 30, 2009. The deal was heavily objected to by MOL and the Hungarian government.
