Though other regulators across the European union are flagging every suspicious financial service provider actively, it seems it is the Italian regulatory authority in the whole EU that is restricting access to the websites of the blacklisted financial service providers.

The statement added, “The restrictions placed on these websites through the Internet Service Providers in the Italian Space is actively ongoing. For some technical reasons, the black-out on these websites will take some days to take effect.”

While that is ongoing, the Commissione Nazionale per le Societa e la Borsa (CONSOB) announced the appointment of Chiara Mosca as the new commissioner earlier this month, which will further strengthen the work on the regulatory showdown and tighten the compliance of the companies offering stocks trading and crypto trading services in the country.
