In the summer month of August, the Italian regulator issued few warnings and black-out orders. Apparently, this was also vacation time for the Consob staff. Before that, Consob regularly issued its black-out orders on Monday of the week. Today it happened again and the black-out of 10 websites offering illegal financial services was ordered. This means that Consob has already blocked 500 websites since July 2019. Currently, Consob is unfortunately the only EU regulator that can block websites.
