Jõustus Tallinna Ringkonnakohtu määrus, mis tühistas Finantsinspektsiooni trahvi Admiral Markets AS suhtes

Message

Jõustus Tallinna Ringkonnakohtu määrus, mis jättis Finantsinspektsiooni kaebuse
rahuldamata ja nõustus Maakohtu otsusega tühistada Finantsinspektsiooni
08.02.2021.a trahv Admiral Markets AS suhtes.

8. veebruaril  2021 edastas  Finantsinspektsioon  (FSA)  Admiral  Markets AS-ile
otsuse, mille kohaselt määrati ettevõttele trahv. Finantsinspektsioonil sõnul ei
olnud  Admiral  Markets  AS  pärast  toornafta  hindade  märkimisväärset langust
aprillis  2020 käitunud täielikult vastavalt  väärtpaberituru seadusele. Admiral
Markets AS ei nõustunud Finantsinspektsiooni otsusega ning kinnitas, et on alati
tegutsenud   oma   klientide  huvides.  Ettevõte  oli  veendunud,  et  hoolimata
Finantsinspektsiooni    otsuses   avaldatud   hinnangutest   toimiti   vastavalt
regulatiivsele  õiguslikule raamistikule ebatavaliste  asjaolude korral. Sellest
tulenevalt esitas Admiral Markets AS 23.02.2021 kaebuse Harju Maakohtusse otsuse
vaidlustamiseks.

Harju  Maakohtu 31.03. 2021 määrusega  rahuldati Admiral  Markets AS kaebus ning
tühistati   Finantsinspektsiooni   otsus   täies  ulatuses.  Finantsinspektsioon
otsustas  esitada  määruskaebuse  Tallinna Ringkonnakohtule. 24.05.2021 otsusega
jättis  Tallinna  Ringkonnakohus  Harju  Maakohtu 31.03.2021. a määruse muutmata
ning   Finantsinspektsiooni  esindajate  määruskaebus  rahuldamata.  10.06.2021
jõustus  Tallinna Ringkonnakohtu määrus  ning Finantsinspektsiooni trahv Admiral
Markets AS suhtes tühistati.

Admiral  Markets  AS  tegevjuht  Sergei  Bogatenkov ütles jõustunud kohtumäärust
kommenteerides,  et nende  jaoks on  klientide huvid  olnud alati  esikohal ning
ettevõtte  oli  veendunud,  et  tegutses  olukorra  keerukust arvestades parimal
võimalikul moel.

The order of the Tallinn Circuit Court, revoking the fine of the Financial Supervision Authority against Admiral Markets AS, entered into the force

Message

The order of the Tallinn Circuit Court entered into the force, which annulled
the fine of the Financial Supervision Authority against Admiral Markets AS.

On February 8, 2021, Finantsinspektsioon (FSA) forwarded a decision to Admiral
Markets AS notifying the company about an imposed fine. According to the
regulator Admiral Markets AS had not acted entirely in accordance with the
Securities Market Act, following the crash of Future crude oil prices in April
2020. Admiral Markets AS did not agree with the decision of the FSA and
confirmed that it had always acted in the best interests of its clients. The
company was confident that regardless of the opinions in the FSA announcement,
it operated in accordance with the regulatory framework even when faced with
unusual circumstances. Taken all that into consideration, Admiral Markets AS
filed an appeal to Harju County Court on 23.02.2021 to challenge the FSA's
decision.

According to the Harju County Court order from 31.03.2021, the complaint of
Admiral Markets AS was satisfied and the decision of Finantsinspektsioon (FSA)
was annulled in full. The Financial Supervision Authority decided to file an
appeal against the ruling to Tallinn Circuit Court. With an order of
24.05.2021, the Tallinn Circuit Court agreed with the order of Harju County
Court from 31.03.2021 and decided not to change the order of Harju County
Court.

 On 10 June 2021, the order of the Tallinn Circuit Court entered into force and
the fine of the Financial Supervision Authority against Admiral Markets AS was
revoked.

Commenting on the court  order, the CEO of  Admiral Markets AS Sergei Bogatenkov
said that the interests of  their customers have always come first and that the
company was convinced that it acted in the best possible way considering the
complexity of the situation.
