Lagardere SA has denied wrongdoing after the French daily Le
Monde reported that the national financial prosecutor's office
opened an investigation into the company.
The French media company said Saturday that it denied "any
assembly vote purchase, as well as, more generally, any offense or
irregularity mentioned in the Le Monde article. The company acts
within the law and will vigorously defend itself against any
contrary allegation."
The article, published Friday, said the prosecutor's office
opened the investigation in April citing misuse of corporate
assets, vote buying, inaccurate accounts and the dissemination of
false or misleading information.
Lagardere said it "deplores the press leaking of information
which would result from an investigation procedure."
