CONSOB, Italy's financial watchdog, blacklisted four more websites yesterday for providing unauthorised financial services. So far, the total number of illegal websites blocked has reached 879.

The four sites blacklisted by CONSOB are as follows:

AMA Business Solutions Ltd (https://solidxm.com and related websites Page, https://register.solidxm.com, https://portal.solidxm.com);

Pelliron Universal Inc. (website https://pelliron.com and related web pages https://pa.pelliron.com);

Mortiz Ltd and FXALTA LTD (www.fxalta.com);

New Finance LLC and NEWFX Ltd (website www.newfxtrading.com).

The regulator explained that blocking the sites could take several days due to technical reasons. Earlier this month CONSOB banned five websites for illegally providing financial services.
