CONSOB Orders Blackout of 5 Websites Offering Financial Services
The Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB), the watchdog responsible for regulating the Italian financial market, issued a warning against 5 new websites for offering financial services without the proper authorization.
Below are the sites CONSOB has ordered to be blacked out:
Lithe Group Ltd (website https://platinex.co and related page https://client.platinex.co/dasboard);
Renaissance Invest LTD (website www.renaissanceinvestltd.co);
Tremisa Ltd (website www.askemarket.com);
"Investus FG" (website https://investusfg.com and related page https://secure.investusfg.com);
Kiplar Ltd (website www.kiplar.org).
The watchdog has ordered the black-out of 5 new websites, but for technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.
The commission availed itself of the new powers resulting from the 'Decreto Crescita' ('Growth Decree'; Law no. 58 of June 28, 2019, article 36), on the basis of which CONSOB can order internet service providers to block access from Italy to websites offering financial services without the proper authorization.
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 510.
