(ANSA) - Milan, September 21 - A Milan court on Monday
acquitted Pirelli President and CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera of
defaming industrialist and publisher Carlo De Benedetti on the
grounds that there was no case to answer.
De Benedetti had sued Tronchetti Provera for defamation over
2013 remarks alleging among other things, that he had been "much
discussed over certain balances at Olivetti" - where he was CEO
from 1978-1996 - and that he had been involved in the 1982
collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano bank.
