Milan-based contractor Salini Impregilo Group has revealed its interest in potentially acquiring financially troubled Astaldi Group, Rome, in its bid to “consolidate its leadership position in the global large infrastructure business sector.”
Astaldi has been sheltering under court protection against creditors as going concern after hitting an obstacle in its capital raising plan late last month. Astaldi faces delays in efforts to sell its interest in Turkey’s Third Bosporus Bridge “due to the political and economic/financial events”.
