News for “Mondazzoli”, as the acquisition of Rcs Libri by Mondadori has been defined: the Antitrust has decided that the publishing house will now have to sell not only Marsilio and Bompiani, as anticipated in recent days by the managing director of Mondadori himself, Ernesto Mauri, but also I sleep.
The competition guarantor has therefore also established the timing. "Mondadori - reported the newspaper Repubblica - will have an initial bonus of six months on Marsilio and Sonzogno and nine months on Bompiani to freely look for a buyer". If the search fails (of course among companies that do not have even indirect links with Mondadori itself or with Fininvest), then the assignment will have to be attempted by a trustee. This trusted man, who will be able to close the operation in another three months, will immediately act guided by the guarantor and in the meantime "will manage Marsilio, Sonzogno and Bompiani independently from the Mondadori before they are sold to others”, specifies the newspaper now directed by Mario Calabresi. "Mondadori and the buyer - when it arrives - will finally have another three months for the closing, for the last definitive signature on the contract".
