BOLIVIA

摘要

Bolivia s government said that Telecom Italia has transferred some $90 million to foreign accounts from its subsidiary Entel, which Bolivia recently nationalized. Bolivia s leftist government has taken over operations of Entel, but still faces a legal challenge from Telecom Italia over compensation for the nationalization. We were expecting this kind of measures because the shareholder (Telecom Italia) never kept funds in Bolivia when it was running the company, public works minister Oscar Coca told reporters in La Paz. Coca did not say when the alleged transfer was made, but said it was a reproachable act which will affect the negotiations over compensation with the Italian company.
