The Italian Securities Commission (Consob) ordered the blocking of 13 additional websites used to unlawfully offer services in financial instruments or to provide crypto-asset services to Italian investors without the required authorisations. The measures cover five sites linked to abusive financial intermediation (Stockwisse, Hyper Trades, Arti4Trades, Lirunefx and Network Capital Ltd) and eight sites through which crypto-asset services were allegedly provided without authorisation, including Lucrumiagroup.co, Dobibo and multiple Jzmor domains. Consob cited its website-blocking powers under Italy’s Growth Decree framework for illegal financial intermediaries and under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation and its Italian implementing legislation for unauthorised crypto-asset service provision, bringing the total number of sites blocked since July 2019 to 1,426. Internet access providers operating in Italy are implementing the blocks and, for technical reasons, full disabling may take several days.
