Attestor Capital LLP of the UK has acquired a 51% stake in Condor as planned. The transaction has been approved by both anti-trust officials and the EU Commission, which also issued state-aid approval for the acquisition of Condor through Attestor. The decisions cleared the way for Attestor to invest €200 million in fresh equity capital in Condor.
