Consob has ordered the blocking of 10 websites as part of its ongoing crackdown on unauthorised financial activities targeting Italian investors.
Seven of the websites were offering investment services without authorisation, while two were promoting unauthorised trading platforms. In addition, Consob blocked a crypto-asset offering by Solaxy Tech Ltd through https://solaxy.io
, as the required white paper under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) had not been notified to the Authority.
Consob also requested Google to remove the Android mobile app “Pocket Option”, linked to Po Trade Ltd, from distribution in the Italian market due to the provision of abusive financial services.
With these latest actions, the total number of websites blocked since July 2019 has risen to 1,585, including 136 cases involving crypto-asset activities. Blocking measures are being implemented by internet service providers in Italy and may take several days to become effective.
Investors are urged to verify that intermediaries are properly authorised and that required prospectuses or white papers have been published before investing. Consob also warns of increasingly sophisticated online scams using cloned websites, fake profiles, and AI-generated content.
