In addition to the circumstances set out in section EN-6.1, a financial penalty of up to BD 20,000 may be applied by the Agency in cases where a licensee fails to comply with any of the requirements in module FC.
EN-6.2.2
As with the imposition of financial penalties in response to breaches of other regulatory requirements, the Agency will apply financial penalties with respect to the regulations set out under module FC on a very selective basis only. The same criteria set out in section EN-6.1 will be taken into account by the Agency when considering imposing a financial penalty. Financial penalties applied under this Section are also subject to the same disclosure requirements as described in section EN-6.1.
EN-6.2.3
A failure to comply with the requirements in module FC that warrants a financial penalty would not trigger also a financial penalty under section EN-6.1.
EN-6.2.4
Any financial penalties applied by the Agency as regards the implementation of its regulations set out under module FC, are without prejudice to the criminal sanctions available to the Bahraini courts under the Decree — Law No. 4 of 2001, with respect to the prevention and prohibition of the laundering of money. As with other financial penalties, the imposition of a financial penalty with regards to breaches of the regulation in module FC does not prevent the Agency from also using other enforcement measures to remedy the same violation (for instance, a Direction).
