Saudi CMA refers a number of violators to Public Prosecution

Zawya28-05-2025
RIYADH — The Saudi Capital Market Authority (CMA) has referred a number of suspects to the Public Prosecution for their violation of the Capital Market Law and the Market Conduct Regulations.
The CMA board decided to take the punitive action against the suspects for violating Article 49 of the Capital Market Law and Article 2 of the Market Conduct Regulations through their involvement in influencing the outcome of the share offering of National Building and Marketing Co. on the Parallel Market.
They involved in the crime with the aim of creating a false and misleading impression regarding the security and the company's fulfillment of the liquidity requirements necessary for listing on the Parallel Market. Additionally, it was found their involvement in executing transition and transactions in order to fraudulently meet the eligibility criteria for the transition to the main market.
The CMA emphasized to all market participants that unlawful practices involving fraud, deception, misrepresentation and manipulation constitute violations that subject perpetrators to legal accountability and the imposition of penalties under the Capital market Law and its implementing regulations.
The CMA underscored its commitment to pursuing those who manipulate the capital market by monitoring their transactions, utilizing its authority under the Capital Market Law, and fulfilling its responsibility to protect citizens and investors from unfair or improper practices. The CMA is dedicated to ensuring justice, efficiency, and transparency in securities transactions.

UAE regulator fines firm AED 5 million for misleading investors

In a major enforcement action, the UAE's Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) has fined a licensed company AED 5 million and referred it to the Public Prosecution for misleading investors. The move comes after investigators uncovered serious violations, including breaches of anti-money laundering laws and counter-terrorism financing rules. The company was found to have misled investors by falsely implying that an overseas partner was licensed by the SCA—an act aimed at misappropriating client funds. The SCA said the deceptive scheme directly targeted investors in the UAE and undermined market integrity. The authority has emphasised its ongoing strategy of proactive oversight and risk-based supervision, aligning with global standards to maintain the UAE's reputation as a trusted financial hub.

UAE has hosted more than 17,600 Afghan evacuees since 2021

Almost four years since the Taliban took power following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, UAE authorities have provided details of how many Afghans it has hosted. The UAE has spent almost Dh1.35 billion ($367.6 million) hosting Afghan refugees before relocating them to other countries since 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. There have been 17,619 Afghans hosted in Emirates Humanitarian City in Abu Dhabi since there were widespread evacuations after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, two decades after they were toppled by the US and Nato. The assistance covered all the needs of Afghan citizens − including health care, logistical and diplomatic services, communications, shelter and food − ensuring comfort, a dignified life and well-being, said a statement from the ministry released on Thursday. EHC also provided services related to departure procedures, with 17 offices opened for the embassies of the countries to where Afghans were seeking relocation. School transport was also provided, along with on-site education and training courses. Almost 2,600 Afghans benefitted from training and professional development workshops, the ministry added. 'The UAE has spared no effort in assisting the Afghan people, being at the forefront of countries that have initiated support for Afghanistan,' said the ministry. 'This reflects its humanitarian mission, which is based on the values of giving, charitable work, spreading peace and consolidating coexistence, tolerance, and the principles of human fraternity. 'It also promotes solidarity with peoples during the most difficult circumstances and crises facing countries. 'The focus on caring for people and preserving their dignity has been a constant approach in the UAE's journey since its founding, regardless of ethnic, religious, or geographical backgrounds and in line with its noble humanitarian principles. It has become a global symbol of humanitarian giving and sustainable good.' A US news outlet reported earlier this month that the UAE was preparing to send a small number of evacuees back to Afghanistan in July.
