Fund recovery for foreign victims of online scams in Genova
Criminal and civil proceedings for recovery of defrauded investments in the province of Genova
Legal assistance for foreign victims of online investment fraud connected to Genova
Foreign nationals who have lost funds to fraudulent online investment platforms — including forex, cryptocurrency, binary options, or automated trading schemes — with operational connections to Genova or the province of Genova may pursue both criminal prosecution and civil recovery under Italian law.
The firm files criminal complaints with the competent Procura della Repubblica, coordinates with the Guardia di Finanza and the Polizia Postale, and constitutes the client as parte civile in criminal proceedings to pursue compensation directly within the criminal trial.
Where the defrauded funds have been transferred to accounts in multiple jurisdictions, the firm cooperates with international legal networks and forensic blockchain analysts to trace fund flows and identify seizable assets.
The firm also files reports with CONSOB — the Italian financial markets authority — where the platform operated without the required authorisation, contributing to regulatory enforcement actions that may benefit the client's recovery prospects.
Precautionary seizure and asset recovery
Italian law provides for precautionary seizure (sequestro preventivo) of assets belonging to the suspected perpetrators, which can be requested at an early stage of the criminal investigation.
The firm prepares the application, documents the evidentiary basis, and advocates before the competent judge for the issuance of the seizure order.
Seized assets may subsequently be confiscated and allocated to the satisfaction of the victim's claim.
How to proceed — preliminary consultation
The first recommended step is to schedule a thirty-minute preliminary consultation, available in English, to assess the circumstances of the fraud, evaluate the available legal remedies, and determine the feasibility of fund recovery.
The firm handles the entire procedure remotely on behalf of clients residing abroad.
