The Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB) has ordered the black-out of 6 websites that offer financial services illegally.
The commission availed itself of the powers resulting from the ‘Decreto Crescita’ (‘Growth Decree’; Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies), on the basis of which Consob can order internet access providers to block access from Italy to websites offering financial services without the proper authorisation.
The companies and websites are listed below:
TomCom Limited (https://royalfxpro.eu);
Bonatech Ltd e Mitchell Group EOOD (https://ccxcrypto.com);
Next Trade Ltd e TLC Consulting Ltd (https://aspenholding.co and https://aspen-holding.com);
“Trader Platinum” (www.traderplatinum.com);
London Capital Trade Ltd (www.londoncapitaltrade.net).
The measures with which the aforementioned companies were ordered to terminate the abusive activity can be viewed on the website www.consob.it.
The black-out of these websites by internet access providers operating on the Italian market is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.
