3 Apr 2025 AC Holding Limited (Cayman Islands, Hayvn-Muttergesellschaft)ADGM: 3.6m USD fine for Hayvn parent over payments routed through unregulated accounts €3.24m
The FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority, the financial regulator of Abu Dhabi Global Market, ADGM) fined the Cayman Islands parent company of the Hayvn group 3,600,000 USD for being knowingly concerned in unauthorised regulated activities of an unregulated ADGM special purpose vehicle and in breaches of permission by its ADGM subsidiary. Around 3,023 transactions for 241 group clients ran through the bank accounts of that vehicle, with deposits of about 507 million USD and payments of about 558 million USD, although the vehicle held no permission and was not subject to the ADGM anti-money laundering rules. The regulator increased the fine by 20%, partly because the parent did not fully disclose its use of the accounts to the regulator and withheld half of the fees owed to the appointed skilled persons.
A parent company is also liable when it knowingly routes client business through unregulated entities in a financial centre.
