As AtoZMarkets earlier reported, the Cyprus financial regulator imposed a €270,00 fine on the contract for difference (CFD) and forex broker for violating investment regulations. CySEC revealed that Depaho violated organizational requirements, as well as CIF authorization provisions, order execution requirements, principles, and information of clients and had a conflict of interest.
Following the CySEC investigation, the regulator discovered that the violations occurred between January 2018 and July 2019. As AtoZMarkets reported, Depaho faced similar fines in 2015 from the Cypriot regulator for non-compliance with several regulatory requirements.
