The Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB) has ordered the black-out of 7 new websites that abusively offer financial services/financial products: 5 abusive financial intermediation sites and 2 sites through which a financial products offer is made in the absence of a prospectus.
The Authority availed itself of the powers deriving from the “Growth decree” (Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies) regarding the blackout of the sites of abusive financial intermediaries, as well as the power introduced by Law no. 8 of 28 February 2020 (article 4, paragraph 3-bis), regarding the blackout of the sites through which the abusive offer is made.
Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:
Uab Bensela (website www.allfinancialtrading.com and its page https://webtrader.allfinancialtrading.com);
Felicity Group Ltd (website https://unionstock.co);
Lacari Group Ltd (website https://fxcapitalize.com);
Hcm Group (website https://hcmgroupfx.com and its page https://my.tradingroomstar.com);
Lead Secure Ltd (website https://fxdirects.co);
Leverit Panama Sa/Sirio Compliance Trust (siti internet https://sirioct.com e https://sirioct.com/backoffice/web).
The number of sites 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 474.
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 black-out to come into effect.
Consob has also suspended for a period of 90 days, pursuant to Article 99, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the public bid of the “Token SICT Tokens” made by Leverit Panama Sa, to which the Sirio Compliance Trust trademark is attributable, also through the websites https://sirioct.com and https://sirioct.com/backoffice/web.
