analysisOn 28 March 2022 the board of the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) fined BrokerCreditService (Cyprus) Limited EUR 10,000 for non-compliance with Article 16(2) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation: the firm had not established and maintained effective arrangements and systems for detecting suspicious transactions, because it did not take due account of price changes in the instruments it traded that could give rise to reasonable suspicion of insider dealing. The decision was announced on 19 April 2022. The announcement records a judicial review and a judicial-review ruling, both available only as links whose content was not retained, so the outcome of the review is not known from the record. 1
