Italian Consob ordered black-out of five illegal websites

CONSOB Charlene Lensburg - November 2, 2021

On 2 November, Italian regulator Consob ordered the black-out of ten new sites illegally offering financial services to Italian consumers. Since July 2019, the Italian watchdog has blocked 542 websites for the Italian market. Consob is currently, unfortunately, the only European regulator that has this power in regulatory enforcement. It would be desirable if other jurisdictions also gave their regulators such authorization to fight scams more efficiently.
