The issue here is that the message didn't say "Let Alfonso overtake" (for some weird reason he's not called Alonso in this house
As such it's likely it was a coded message but based on the likelyhood that it was the fine was issued. If the FIA banned the renault team an appeal in a court would probably find that there is no firm proof it was a coded message hence the ban would be overturned. Hence they can only really slap them firmly on the wrist and say don;t you dare try that again.
