(Alliance News) - As reported by Il Corriere della Sera on Monday, according to the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, between 2024 and 2025 Caltagirone and Delfin allegedly acted in coordination with MPS on Mediobanca and Generali, going beyond simple financial interest and without making their alleged "concerted action" transparent to the market, which would have required official communications and a takeover bid of more than 25%.
Prosecutors point to anomalies in the sale of 15% of MPS by the Treasury and various wiretaps: some show close relations between Caltagirone and MPS CEO Lovaglio; others indicate that Delfin directors at Mediobanca were essentially aligned with Caltagirone's expectations, Il Corriere adds.
The newspaper continues by focusing on a phone call on April 27, 2025, in which a Delfin director confirms Nagel's defensive move to a man close to Caltagirone, revealing a relationship of dependence.
Other conversations show Caltagirone's concern about Mediobanca's initiatives, which would have weakened the MPS project.
