Delfin, the holding company of the Del
Vecchio family, has upped its stake in Tuscan lender Monte dei
Paschi di Siena (MPS) from 3.5% to 9.78%, CONSOB said Thursday.
The fund had acquired its initial share on the occasion of
economy ministry's sale of 15% of the Sienese institute, the
world's oldest bank.
MPS, which has struggled in recent years but has been
restructured after nationalisation, is seeking a partner.
