Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.
Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.
Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"
Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"
Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"
Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.More info coming soon.

Hi edmos,
Yes,I have that document for a while,but I haven't published it before,to avoid hindering the investigations.Now,it's the right time
I would point out,the Prosecutor's Office,holds all these documents.

among to many questions,one in particular...
Claudio di Fonzo assured the investors he used a segregated accounts to keep the customers' money separate from the firm's money.
So,why he signed that agreement by which,he granted to Mahmood Riaz a $20 millions loan by using money of Gforex's investors ???

latest news: a new article from UAE
Italy seeks Dubai man in US$36m fraud case - The National
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A local businessman is under investigation by Italian authorities in relation to a US$36 million fraud case in Milan.
Mahmood Riaz is the subject of an official inquiry, says the Guardia di Finanza, a law-enforcement agency that handles financial crimes.
His former business partner in Italy, Claudio di Fonzo, was recently arrested and charged with bankruptcy fraud.
An officer with the Guardia di Finanza said they did not know of Mr Riaz's whereabouts. "We are trying to find him," the officer said.
Mr Riaz, a Pakistani businessman, founded GTL Trading in Dubai. Through his lawyer in Italy, he declined to comment.
Reports on the case emerged late last year, when about 400 Italian investors who lost their life savings were searching for answers.
The investors had entrusted their money to Mr di Fonzo's company in Italy, Gforex, which is now bankrupt.
"I don't think I'm going to get my money back any more," said Rita La Rocca, 36, a mother in Sicily whose family lost more than €100,000 (Dh476,500).
"I think it's too long and too difficult. We're so far away."
A spokesman for Mr di Fonzo declined to comment this week.
Earlier, he said he sent the investors' money to a brokerage account he opened with Mr Riaz to trade on the foreign-exchange market.
Although GTL Trading is based in Dubai, Mr di Fonzo said he opened the account with a company Mr Riaz ran in Switzerland.
Mr di Fonzo claimed Mr Riaz siphoned money from the account and blocked his access to the trading platform.
Mr Riaz's lawyer in Italy, Matteo Cornali, denied the allegations, blaming the Gforex bankruptcy on mismanagement.
Mr Cornali said Mr Riaz worked closely with Gforex through a British Virgin Islands company called Global Tradewaves.
That company "did suffer market instabilities" in 2010, he said.
But at that point, Mr Riaz and Mr di Fonzo signed an agreement saying any money Global Tradewaves owed Gforex had been converted into a $20m (Dh73.4m) loan that was guaranteed by GTL Trading.
Mr Cornali said Global Tradewaves had repaid some money, but has been unable to repay the full amount because the agreement needed to be clarified.
The Guardia di Finanza announced Mr di Fonzo's arrest on September 25, calling the investigation "Operation Sender Box".
Investigators discovered an organised fraud in which more than $36m was collected from Italian clients, passed through foreign brokers and diverted, the Guardia di Finanza said.
In all, 36 people were cited "for various levels of improper exercise of financial activities" and six employees of two banks were reported for failing to observe due diligence.
Investigators also sequestered 522 asset-management contracts.
They asked for judicial assistance from the British Virgin Islands to confirm "the destination of illicit proceeds", the Guardia di Finanza said.
The case has been forwarded to the Milan prosecutor to launch an investigation.
"It's good news but I would like to have my money back, believe me," Ms La Rocca said. "I have family, I have two children. My husband works very hard."
Maria Bietolini, a communications consultant in Milan who lost €70,000, said she was cautiously optimistic.
"We are near but the problem is that everything is happening now in Italy," she said. "As you know, Riaz is not in Italy. Our money is not in Italy.
"So we need to have some pressure also on the international level to get more help from foreign institutions."
A woman who answered the phone at GTL Trading said Mr Riaz was out of the country.

Rimangono senza risposta alcune domande:
1 - Nei confronti di Riaz è stato emesso un mandato di cattura solo in Italia o un mandato di cattura internazionale con interessamento dell'Interpol?
2 - I soldi che sono finiti alle British Virgin Islands sono stati posti sotto sequestro?
3 - Chi è l'altra persona arrestata insieme a Di Fonzo?
4 - Riaz tempo fa voleva restituire 16 milioni di euro e tramite l'avvocato Cornali aveva lanciato questa proposta al curatore fallimentare, Dr. Zanetti. Perchè non lo fa ora e alleggerisce la sua posizione giudiziaria?

In chronological order :
1) a remand warrant may also be executed outside country.The problem is,not all the countries cooperate on that.UAE is a typical example
2) I say not.It's not even certain the money is still there.
3) It's supposed to be Alessandro Spinardi,but we need to get confirmation
4) that was a bluff
