Warnings from CONSOB

Itaalia

New intervention by Consob to black-out “clone sites” spreading counterfeit videos, apparently referring to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti.

 

The blocking referred to the website https://avenixio-invest.com (in addition to the websites https://avenixio.com, https://avenixio.org, https://avenixio.it, https://avenixio.vip), which ‘cloned’ the image of Prime Minister Meloni, and the website https://tegsub.com, which replicated that of Minister Giorgetti to promote the ‘Avenixio’ online trading platforms.

In particular, by means of a modus operandi already disclosed in recent months, the ‘clone’ of the Minister publicized investment services provided through abusive trading platforms through fake interviews apparently given to leading television programs.

 

Consob's intervention - to protect investors and institutional figures who were unduly involved, despite being completely unrelated to the matter - was carried out by exercising the powers deriving from the “Growth Decree” (converted by Law No. 58 of 28 June, 2019) and the “Capital Law” (No. 21 of 5 March, 2024).

 

At the same time, Consob also blacked-out 8 other following websites for illegal financial intermediation activities:

The number of websites blacked-out since July 2019, when Consob got the power to order that the websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries be blacked out, has thus risen to 1478.

The measures adopted by Consob can be consulted on the website www.consob.it.

The black-out of these websites by Internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the blackout to come into effect.
