MILANO (ITALPRESS) – “A double twist in the big Italian banking game”. It writes the “Sun 24 Ore”, that in an article signed by the director Fabio Tamburini lets know that the managing director of the Monte dei Paschi of Siena, Luigi Lovaglio, “is giving the last touches to present to the cda of the bank not one, but even two extraordinary transactions alternatives to the public offer of purchase and exchange launched in recent months from Intesa Sanpaolo in agreement with the Unipol group: an Ops on the Bpm Bank”.
According to the daily newspaper “Lovaglio, a real poker player, is trying to play the ace to tilt the relationships of strength with Intesa at the last, decisive, round of table”. Ops double projects “have the taste of very risky choices, among other things on the eve of the decision of the Milan Prosecutor on the Mps-Mediobanca investigation”.
Regarding Banco Bpm “that the Ops proves possible is all to demonstrate, especially for the veto announced by the first partner of the Banco, the French Credit Agricole, which controls little less than a third of the capital”; the blitz on Banca Generali could become possible “only with the agreement of the general controller”.
But the ad of Mps, we read again, “he feels the man of impossible missions” and has “a joke that can play: the cession, in whole or in part, of 13% of the Generals, which controls through Mediobanca”, an operation in which “can come to the field of French finance”.
The board of Mps “has not yet been informed” about the intentions of Lovaglio, “although – the article concludes – the councilors closest to the managing director received an alert on a possible, imminent summoning.”.
