UniCredit lodged an appeal with the Council of State — the supreme administrative court of Italy and the government’s main legal advisor — against a ruling by the Regional Administrative Court (TAR) in Lazio, which stopped the bank from acquiring Banco Bpm four months ago.

According to the NABU, which is conducting the probe in cooperation with the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO), the group involved “set up a major corruption scheme to control key state-owned enterprises,” including Energoatom, Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear energy agency.

Japanese multinational investment company SoftBank said it had sold its remaining stake in Nvidia for $5.83 billion (€5bn) as it pivots towards AI investments. SoftBank also reported stronger-than-expected earnings for the three months to 30 September, posting a net profit of ¥2.5 trillion (€14bn), more than double the ¥1.18 trillion (€6.6bn) recorded a year earlier.
