EU antitrust regulators gave unconditional approval on Thursday to U.S. investment firm KKR's 22-billion-euro ($24 billion) acquisition of Telecom Italia's (TIM) fixed-line network.
The private banking arm of Italian bank Mediobanca said it would start offering its wealthier clients a new, illiquid open-ended alternative fund set up by investment firm KKR.
U.S. investment firm KKR is expected to gain unconditional EU antitrust clearance to buy Telecom Italia's (TIM) fixed-line network after agreeing to keep commercial agreements with TIM rivals, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
