The Securities Exchange and Surveillance Commission will recommend penalties against MRI - which according to the company's website had 136.5 billion yen ($1.4 billion) in client assets at the end of last year - as early as Friday, the source said. No one at MRI could be reached for comment. At a press conference earlier on Friday, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said he was aware of media reports about the MRI investigation but could not comment further.
