CIR: payment received in accordance with the Appeal ruling on the Mondadori case

Milan, July 26  2011 – CIR announces that it has today received from Fininvest payment of the amount of approximately 564.2 million euro, awarded by the Milan Court of Appeal with a ruling filed on July 9 2011, as compensation for the damage caused to CIR by the corruption of a judge during the Lodo Mondadori Court case. This sum includes legal expenses and interest accrued since October 3 2009. 

CIR and its legal counsel, Attorneys Vincenzo Roppo and Elisabetta Rubini, while acknowledging that it is the intention of Fininvest to appeal to the Court of Cassation, are fully confident that the company’s good reasons, which have already been vindicated by a definitive ruling in the Criminal Courts and by two levels of civil justice, will be further and definitively upheld in that Court too.
