BOV loses Deiulemar
€363 million security
MATTHEW VELLA
AN Italian court has ordered the
forfeiture of a €363 million pre-
cautionary security from Bank of
Valletta, in a successful claim made
by the 13,000 bondholders of the
defunct Deiulemar shipping com-
pany.
The Tribunal of Torre Annunzia-
ta delivered its decision against the
bank yesterday, after the bank last
year attempted an offer of €50 mil-
lion for Deiulemar bondholds to
settle the claim out of court, but was
rejected.
