If somebody does not trade and just deposits, then wants his fund back in the same format he sent them, then there is no need for ID verification.


That is not correct. Once a customer sends funds there is a "business relationship".

I'm not familiar with Italian law specifically but I am very familiar with various other countries laws regarding AML legislation.

It is different if you are dealing with a dodgy exchange that hides behind anonymity or dodgy country that give any  legal status to Crypto.
Those exchanges are not even legal entities and therefore cannot possibly comply with AML laws.
Legal exchanges cannot return funds if the source requires to be identified. They are not likely to tell anyone publicly the exact concerns and while I have no idea of the exact reason the customer requires to provide KYC for AML purposes - my guess is that it is because their balance is over 15K euros. There could potentially also be an issue with the source or the destination of the funds.

A large number of exchanges are going through changes that require them to comply with AML laws.

Customer due diligence
Data retention duties
and
Reporting duties.

At this regard, the obliged entity shall:

shall retain a copy of the documents collected during the customer's due diligence, indicating: i) the relevant date of the establishment of the business relationship; ii) personal data of the customer and/or the beneficial owner iii) the scope and nature of the legal relationship or of the transaction in place; iv) means of payment used by the customer.

shall submit without delay a suspicious transaction report to the UIF (Financial Intelligence Unit for Italy) when they become aware of, suspect or have reasonable grounds to suspect that terrorism financing or money laundering are in process or terrorism operations are being carried out or attempted, or whatever funds, regardless of their size, come from criminal activity.
