The Cypriot watchdog made it clear that Fidelisco’s surrender of the license is entirely voluntary based on the company’s decision and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the CySEC.

CySEC explained the fine was relatively light considering the fact that that the branch in Paralimni terminated its operations and had not previously committed a similar violation.
