2 Feb 2026 Ark Capital Management (Dubai) LimitedDFSA: allegedly USD 504,000 on Ark Capital Management over market abuse controls €425,676
The investment firm did not review alerts from its surveillance system adequately or promptly, so at least ten suspicious trading instances were not reported or reported late; it also failed to notify an agreed, potentially staged change in control. After a 30% settlement discount the DFSA allegedly imposed USD 504,000 (otherwise USD 720,000).
A surveillance system only helps if its alerts are reviewed promptly – and a staged acquisition of shares must still be notified.
