Consob has ordered the black-out of 4 new websites that offer financial services illegally.

The commission availed itself of the new powers resulting from the "Decreto Crescita" ("Growth Decree"; Law no. 58 of 28 June 2019, Article 36, paragraph 2-terdecies), on the basis of which Consob can order internet service providers to block access from Italy to websites offering financial services without the proper authorisation.

Below are the sites Consob has ordered to be blacked out:

- Blackridge Capital Management Ltd (website https://blackridgecm.com and its page https://secure.blackridgecm.c com);

- Alphascrypto (websites www.alphascrypto.co.uk and www.alphascrypto.website);

- Fast-Mng (website www.fast-mng.eu);

The number of sites blacked out since July 2019, when Consob was given the power to order the black-out of websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries, has thus risen to 1004.

The measures adopted by Consob can be consulted on the website www.consob.it.

The black-out of these websites by internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.

Consob draws investors' attention to the importance of adopting the greatest diligence in order to make informed investment choices, adopting common sense behaviours, essential to safeguard one's savings: these include, for websites that offer financial services, checking in advance that the operator with whom you are investing is authorised, and, for offers of financial products, that a prospectus has been published.

Please note, there is a section on the homepage of the www.consob.it website, entitled "Watch for Scams!", which provides useful information warning investors about fraudulent financial schemes.

Consob has also prohibited, pursuant to Article 99, paragraph 1, letter c), of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the offer to the public that is resident in Italy concerning "investment plans" via the website www.velohld.com (resolution no. 22967 of 17 January 2024). The offer had already been suspended as a precautionary measure, for a period of 90 days, with resolution no. 22867 of 25 October 2023.

Consob has ordered the same subjects to cease the violation of Article 18 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, pursuant to article 7-octies, letter b) of the same legislative decree:
