19-062MR ASIC obtains interim injunctions against Forex Capital Trading

ASIC’s investigations into FCT are ongoing

AFCA is aware that ASIC has obtained orders from the Federal Court against Forex CT and its principal. This means Forex CT cannot currently transfer funds or move assets overseas.

However, apart from this restriction, Forex Capital bank accounts are not frozen, and its Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL number 290108) is not suspended or cancelled.

AFCA understands ASIC’s investigations are ongoing and the Federal Court is next likely to consider the proceedings on 5 May 2019.
