BFF Bank SpA fell in Milan trading after confirming a report that prosecutors opened an investigation into the specialist lender. The probe began at the end of 2023 and remains at the investigative stage, the bank said in a statement on Monday, after Italian daily Milano Today reported that authorities were examining the accuracy of its financial statements. The stock slumped as much as 7.1% before paring declines. “BFF has, from the very beginning, made itself available to cooperate with the public prosecutor’s office and to provide any information that may be of assistance to the investigating authorities,” the lender said, without elaborating on the focus of investigation. BFF, which specializes in factoring, suffered a sharp stock plunge earlier this month after announcing fresh provisions, lower targets and the departure of its chief executive officer. The disclosures shocked investors, many of whom believed the bank had weathered the worst of a previous crisis after the Bank of Italy in November lifted payout restrictions imposed the previous year. Read More: BFF Bank Plunges as Outlook Cut and CEO Exit Reignites Scrutiny The latest guidance cut raises new questions about BFF, which has been trying to draw a line under concerns about its lending and factoring portfolio since May 2024, when the Bank of Italy ordered it to halt profit distribution and suspend expansion abroad. BFF fell 2.2% at 9:15 a.m. in Milan, after earlier declines pushed it to the lowest since it went public in 2017. The bank has a market value of around €700 million ($828 million). “The investigation does not appear to be linked to recent events,” Mediobanca SpA analyst Simonetta Chiriotti said in a note on Tuesday. “That said, the news of the probe represents a further setback for BFF, in our view, along an already complex path toward rebuilding its equity story.”

Stake, a Dubai-based fractional property investment platform, raised $31 million in a second fund-raising round that will help the fractional ownership firm expand its operations in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and dig deeper into technology supporting the markets. Emirates NBD PJSC, the Gulf’s third largest bank by market value, led the Series B funding round, while Abu Dubai sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co., Saudi Aramco’s venture capital arm and Middle East Venture Partners returned as investors, according to Rami Tabbara, the company’s co-founder. New investors into the platform included Dubai-based classified portal Property Finder, developer Ellington Properties, GFH Partners and STV NICE fund. So far, Stake has raised $58 million since its inception, Tabbara said declining to provide the firm’s current valuation. Fractional ownership is gaining momentum in the oil-rich Gulf region where a surge in property demand has lifted values and rents across the Gulf’s largest economies. The fintech firm, which facilitates property investments starting at about $136, has embarked on an expansion drive in Saudi Arabia with plans for property deals worth 1 billion riyals ($266 million) as Stake taps rising interest from foreign investors into the Gulf’s largest economy. The firm has also entered the US market by selling shares into warehouses in Baltimore and Maryland.
