(ANSA) - Milan, July 10 - In commenting on a decision Friday
giving Carlo De Benedetti's CIR company a much lower amount than
it had asked for in a lawsuit against Fininvest, former prime
minister Silvio Berlusconi's daughter Marina said that "even to
injustice there is a limit".
"De Benedetti and CIR," the head of the family's holding
company added, "used to as they are to balancing their finances
to the detriment of Fininvest, tried to do so once more. But
this time it didn't work."
The Milan court ordered Fininvest to pay CIR 246,000 euros
in a second Lodo Mondadori case, instead of an additional 32
million euros plus some 60 million for interest accrued and
legal expenses as had been requested.
She called the request "absurd", noting that CIR had
"claimed that their image, reputation and honor had been
severely damaged, going so far as to complain of serious
psychological and emotional stress and discomfort".
She added that "we should never have had to pay a single
euro".
