Vivendi asks judge for new documents in Telecom Italia network sale case
MILAN (Reuters) -Telecom Italia's (TIM) biggest investor, Vivendi, asked an Italian judge for further documentation to be provided in a case challenging the planned sale of the phone group's landline grid to U.S. fund KKR, a lawyer for the French company said on Tuesday. Worth up to 22 billion euros ($23.9 billion) and backed by the Italian government, the proposed sale is a key plank of TIM Chief Executive Pietro Labriola's strategy to revamp the debt-laden telecoms company. Vivendi, which was seeking a higher price, filed a complaint with a Milan court in December to annul the decision by TIM's board to sell the network without a shareholder vote.

KKR remedies on Telecom Italia deal expected next week, source says
U.S. investment firm KKR will likely offer remedies next week in an attempt to secure EU antitrust approval to buy Telecom Italia's (TIM) fixed-line access network, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. KKR wants to acquire TIM's domestic network for up to 22 billion euros ($23.87 billion), making the Italian telecoms group the first in a major European country to divest its landline grid. The European Commission is now examining the deal, with a decision due by May 30.
