COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIALI RIUNITE S.P.A.
Milan, July 10 2015 - CIR-Compagnie Industriali Riunite S.p.A. announces that the ruling of the Court of Milan has been filed in the new case brought by the company against Fininvest for compensation for the non-patrimonial damage caused by judicial corruption in the Lodo Mondadori affair. The ruling follows the one regarding patrimonial damages, which ended about two years ago with the pronouncement of the Court of Cassation in CIR's favour.
With today's ruling, while upholding CIR's claim and acknowledging the existence of non-patrimonial damages caused by the infringement of the latter's right to an impartial ruling, the judge liquidated the said damages to the amount of € 246,000, which is deemed by CIR and its legal counsel to be grossly inadequate given the extremely serious nature of the offence committed and the extent of the negative consequences suffered by the victim. The judge also rejected the counterclaim brought by Fininvest against CIR. The company reserves the right to appeal against the ruling.
