Vincent Bollorè, the French
financier whose Vivendi media company has a majority stake in
Italian telecoms giant TIM and whose Bolloré group is second
biggest shareholder in Italian merchant bank Mediobanca, was
arrested Tuesday on suspicion of bribing foreign public
officials in a case linked to port concessions in Togo and
Guinea, Le Monde online reported.
Bolloré, 66, is being questioned at Nanterre.
The Bolloré group denied all "irregularities" in Africa
allegedly committed by its SDV Afrique unit and promised
"complete transparency" with the investigation.
