(Jamma) The London-based investment fund Eaton Gate is evaluating a series of strategic operations in some sectors of the Italian national economy, starting with an operation worth around 740 million euros to take home the Italian Bplus. On the plate, writes MF, Eaton Gate has put up half a billion to take over the entire share package, plus 240 million corresponding to 30% of the penalty of over 800 million imposed on Bplus by the Court of Auditors for failure to connect the slot machines to the network of Monopoly.
"Italy is still one of the largest economies in the world and has one of the most strictly regulated markets in the gaming sector also offering a wide range of products", he explains to MF-Milano Finanza Scott Lanphere, managing director of Eaton Gate. “We believe this is the ideal environment for us institutional investors, where we find an ideal legal framework to compete in the market. Our partners are able to sustain their investments in the long term by ensuring stability for the workforce, having investments in different industrial sectors and gaming is a very important sector”.
