Consob Monday – Italian regulator ordered the black-out of five new websites

CONSOB tamir - November 30, 2021

On 29 November 2021, Italian regulator Consob ordered the black-out of six new sites illegally offering financial services to Italian consumers. Since July 2019, the Italian watchdog has blocked 553 websites for the Italian market. Consob is currently 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.

Consob Monday is back! 10 new websites to be blacked out!

CONSOB Ben - August 2, 2021

The last two weeks, probably due to vacations or Covid19, Consob did not make the Monday announcements about the blackout of websites of illegally acting financial service providers. These Consob Mondays have been usual for months. Today, the Italian regulator ordered the blackout of 10 illegal financial service providers. Unfortunately, Consob is currently the only EU regulator granted by national law the competence for such a blackout. An EU-wide solution would be appropriate, wouldn't it?
