Italy’s Companies and Exchange Commission (CONSOB) has taken further action to block “clone websites” distributing fake videos, apparently attributable to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti.
The blocking (Resolutions No. 23738 and No. 23739 of November 5, 2025) affected the website https://avenixio-invest.com (in addition to the websites https://avenixio.com, https://avenixio.org, https://avenixio.it, and https://avenixio.vip), which “cloned” the image of Prime Minister Meloni, and the website https://tegsub.com, which replicated that of Minister Giorgetti to advertise the “Avenixio” online trading platforms.
Consob intervened – to protect savers and the institutional figures unduly implicated, who were completely uninvolved in the matter – by exercising the powers deriving from the “Growth Decree” (converted into Law No. 58 of June 28, 2019) and the “Capital Law” (No. 21 of March 5, 2024).
At the same time, Consob also blocked eight other websites for offering unauthorized financial intermediation activities.
The following websites have been blocked by Consob:
- “D2XMarkets” (website https://d2xmarkets.com and related pages https://clientzone.d2xmarkets.com and https://wt.d2xmarkets.com);
- “Easy MarketsEU Limited” (website https://easymarketscfd.org and related pages https://panel.mxd23.com, https://trading.mxd23.com);
- VT Markets Limited (website www.vtmarkets-it.net and related page https://myaccount.vtmarkets-it.net);
- FPM Trading (website https://fpmtrading.com and related page https://portal.fpmtrading.com);
- “ITALGO.AI” (website https://italgo.ai and related page https://app.italgo.ai);
- “Comgestfx” (website https://comgestfx.com.com and related page https://my.plat4mxm.com);
- “Progestrade” (website https://progestrade.com and related page https://client.progestrade.com);
- “Renaitech AI” (website https://premiumrenaitech-ai.vip and related page https://app.premiumrenaitech-ai.vip).
This brings the total number of websites blocked by Consob to 1,478 since July 2019, when the Authority was granted the power to order the blocking of the websites of unauthorized financial intermediaries.
Internet service providers operating in Italy are currently blocking the websites. For technical reasons, the actual blocking may take several days to implement.
