MILAN (Reuters) -Milan prosecutors have opened an investigation into the holding company that controls Italian drinks group Campari, sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Wednesday. The prosecutors launched the probe after checks by tax police uncovered around 1 billion euros ($1.07 billion) of unpaid taxes from 2018-2020, owed by the Luxembourg-based holding Lagfin, the sources said. "The company has always fulfilled its tax obligations with the utmost scruple in all the jurisdictions where it operates and considers any potential objection to be devoid of any basis," Lagfin said in a statement, adding that no formal notice of assessment has been issued to date.
Makers of the Chinese liquor baijiu are reformulating the fiery grain liquid to appeal to a wider client base, including cocktail drinkers in New York, Los Angeles and London, as sales at home slow. While sales in China are still rising, top baijiu makers like Kweichow Moutai face far slower growth than in the past as younger generations increasingly opt for alternatives to the country's national liquor. Now, in a bid to find new pockets of growth, some major makers of the colourless liquor are starting to pitch it to Western consumers outside of China for the first time.
Campari will seek further M&A opportunties after completing the buyout of French cognac house Courvoisier, the new head of the Italian drinks group said on Tuesday. The group completed the 1.22-billion euro ($1.3 billion)acquisition of Courvoisier last week, earlier than expected by analysts. It was the largest ever deal for Campari, whose brands include the Aperol aperitif, Espolon tequila and Wild Turkey whisky.
