Saudi CMA refers a number of violators to Public Prosecution
RIYADH — The Saudi Capital Market Authority (CMA) has referred a number of suspects to the Public Prosecution for their violation of the Capital Market Law and the Market Conduct Regulations.
The CMA board decided to take the punitive action against the suspects for violating Article 49 of the Capital Market Law and Article 2 of the Market Conduct Regulations through their involvement in influencing the outcome of the share offering of National Building and Marketing Co. on the Parallel Market.
They involved in the crime with the aim of creating a false and misleading impression regarding the security and the company's fulfillment of the liquidity requirements necessary for listing on the Parallel Market. Additionally, it was found their involvement in executing transition and transactions in order to fraudulently meet the eligibility criteria for the transition to the main market.
The CMA emphasized to all market participants that unlawful practices involving fraud, deception, misrepresentation and manipulation constitute violations that subject perpetrators to legal accountability and the imposition of penalties under the Capital market Law and its implementing regulations.
The CMA underscored its commitment to pursuing those who manipulate the capital market by monitoring their transactions, utilizing its authority under the Capital Market Law, and fulfilling its responsibility to protect citizens and investors from unfair or improper practices. The CMA is dedicated to ensuring justice, efficiency, and transparency in securities transactions.

Syria's Interior Minister says government has seized all Captagon production labs
The Syrian Interior Minister, Anas Khattab, on Wednesday said that the government has seized control of all Captagon laboratories in the country. "We were able to stop their production and confiscate all production facilities, and we are in the process of uncovering hidden drugs,' Mr Khattab said in a TV interview with Alikhbaria. "There are now no more factories producing Captagon in Syria." Most of the factories, of which he said there were dozens, were "in the Damascus countryside and a large number in the Lebanese border area", and on the coast. The stimulant Captagon has been a major unofficial export for years, with producers in Syria earning large profits as it became a popular recreational drug in the Middle East and beyond. Since the toppling of former president Bashar Al Assad in December, the government in Damascus has vowed to work internally and with other countries in the region to crack down on the production and trafficking of Captagon. In April, Syrian authorities seized four million Captagon pills concealed inside thousands of metal bars in Latakia, the Interior Ministry said. In early May, the Lebanese military discovered and dismantled a laboratory used to produce the drugs in a raid near the border. 'Since the first day of liberation [from the Assad regime], we have co-ordinated with countries affected by drug trafficking, most notably Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and we have been able to seize numerous shipments and equipment used in drug production,' Mr Khattab said.
