The Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB) has ordered the black-out of 4 new websites that abusively offer financial services/financial products: 3 abusive financial intermediation sites and 1 site through which financial products are offered without 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 website through which the abusive offer is made.
Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:
- Mango Group LLC (website www.x-fortunes.com);
- FX6 (website https://fx6.xyz);
- Trade 4 Nation (www.trade4nation.com website and its https://client.trade4nation.com page);
- Velohld (www.velohld.com website).
The number of sites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob was given the power to order the black-out of websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries, has thus risen to 959.
Consob has also suspended, as a precautionary measure for a period of 90 days, an offer to the public residing in Italy of “Investment Plans” made via the www.velohld.com website.
