Constantin Medien AG : Statement about today’s judgment from the High Court in London

In Constantin Medien AG's proceeding against Bernard Ecclestone, among others, the High Court in London rejected a direct claim against Ecclestone and his family foundation. At the same time, the court viewed as a proven fact that Ecclestone bribed Gerhard Gribkowsky, the Chairman of the board of directors of the Bayerische Landesbank, for the purpose of selling Formula One to an owner preferred by him. The court also deemed as proven that Ecclestone was aware of the danger that the sale was conducted below value.  

Constantin Medien AG further assumes that the company is entitled to claims based on the findings of the Regional Court in Munich regarding the criminal proceedings against Gerhard Gribkowsky and today's ruling of the High Court in London. Constantin Medien will further pursue its claims and appeal.
