Berlusconi family leaving soccer again with sale of relegated Monza to American fund
Fininvest, the Berlusconi's family holding company, announced the deal in a statement Tuesday.
'The transaction provides for an initial transfer of 80% of the shares by this summer, with the remaining 20% to be transferred by June 2026,' it said.
Fininvest purchased Monza in 2018 and oversaw the club's rise from the third division to Serie A. But the club based just outside Milan finished last in the recently concluded Serie A season and was relegated to Serie B.
Fininvest was previously controlled by the late Silvio Berlusconi — the three-time Italian premier who died in 2023. Berlusconi owned AC Milan from 1986 to 2017.
BLV is paying about 30 million euros ($35 million) for Monza, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. Financial details of the deal were not announced.

Hinge is using AI to help people date better — but not to date a chatbot
Hinge is using AI to help you find better dates, but the company doesn't want you dating bots. "I don't think that an AI chatbot should be your friend or certainly not your boyfriend or girlfriend," Hinge CEO Justin McLeod said in an episode of the "Rapid Response" podcast published on Tuesday. In contrast, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on a May podcast that the average American now has fewer than three close friends and that digital chatbots could help cure this "loneliness epidemic." Hinge is owned by Match Group, which also operates dating apps like Tinder and OKCupid. In 2018, Match acquired Hinge, which McLeod cofounded in 2011. "One of our principles around AI is that it really should stand behind us and not between us," McLeod said. He said the app is designed so that users can have better interactions on the app and meet in person faster. "But it certainly shouldn't be something that we start engaging with as an end in itself just for entertainment or, I would say, artificial intimacy or artificial connection." Hinge's website says that the company uses AI in two main ways. It recommends personalized matches based on each dater's previous interactions and preferences, such as age, distance, and family plans. AI also helps users improve their profiles and makes it easier to start conversations. "We don't want to put words in their mouths," McLeod said on the podcast. "It's just recognizing that someone's answer to a prompt could give us more detail. And honestly usually the response is, 'Can you say more about that,' or 'Tell a little bit more why that's true.'" On Wednesday, Business Insider created a new profile on the app and used the AI feature to ask for feedback on our answers to conversation-starting prompts. We found one instance of the AI asking to improve responses, and another where it complimented our answer for being fun and interesting. Hinge's prompt: "Together we could" Our response: "Learn a sport together." AI suggestion: "Try a small change. If you want to add more, consider sharing which sport you'd like to learn or asking about their favourite sports." Hinge's prompt: "I'm weirdly attracted to" Our response: "People very passionate about long, nerdy movie franchises" AI suggestion: "Great prompt! It showcases your unique interests and invites fun conversations." Match Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Hinge is 'crushing it' Hinge has become a bright spot in the dating app industry, which is struggling to compete with app fatigue and the growing preference for in-person interactions. On an earnings call earlier this month, Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff said that Hinge is an example of what can be achieved with a motivated team and a great product. "Simply put, Hinge is crushing it," Rascoff said. "Hinge's success should put to rest any doubts about whether the online dating category is out of favor among users." "Hinge's success gives me pride in Hinge, but also confidence in Tinder," the Match CEO added. The dating app's paying users grew by 18% year over year to 1.7 million, and revenue per paying user grew 6% to nearly $32. Hinge generated $168 million in revenue in the second quarter, a 25% increase from the same time last year.

Deutsche Bank chief faces scrutiny about role in risky trades over a decade ago
By Tom Sims and John O'Donnell FRANKFURT (Reuters) -In 2013, Deutsche Bank handed Christian Sewing, a rising star, the sensitive assignment of investigating derivatives trades under scrutiny in Italy. More than a decade later, Sewing, now CEO, faces criticism in a lawsuit by a former Deutsche employee over his handling of the task. The suit has prompted Deutsche to review how the bank and Sewing, chief auditor at the time, managed the situation, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Dario Schiraldi, a former banker at Deutsche who was involved in the trades, claims in a 152-million-euro ($178 million) lawsuit seeking damages from the bank that the lender's actions, including the audit overseen by Sewing more than a decade ago, harmed Schiraldi's reputation and earnings, according to court documents seen by Reuters. Deutsche Bank in its review in recent months of its investigation into the trades found no wrongdoing, the person familiar with the matter said. Nonetheless, the lawsuit - due to be heard in a Frankfurt court in December - puts Sewing, CEO since 2018 and credited with cleaning up Deutsche Bank's image, in the spotlight by publicly examining his role at the height of the global financial crisis. Schiraldi, five other former bankers of the German lender, and the bank were acquitted in 2022, after initially being convicted by an Italian court in 2019 for colluding with Italian bank Monte dei Paschi (MPS) to hide losses at MPS by using complex derivatives trades. In Germany, Deutsche's accounting of the transactions was also the focus of regulators. Schiraldi's lawsuit claims the bankers were made to take the blame for trades while Deutsche Bank management - including Sewing as chief auditor - sought to conceal their tacit approval for risky and lucrative deals. Deutsche Bank disclosed Schiraldi's lawsuit in its 2024 annual report released earlier this year, in a list of potentially significant civil litigation and regulatory matters. "The facts of this long-standing matter are well known and have been discussed in detail over the past decade. The Supervisory Board supports the Management Board in defending the bank against this litigation," Chairman Alexander Wynaendts said in a statement earlier this month. Sewing declined to comment for this story via a spokesperson. As CEO, he has slimmed down and returned Deutsche Bank to profit and restored its image after years of management churn, legal turmoil, losses and fines that threatened to topple the bank. He was reappointed in March for a third term as head of Deutsche, which is playing a key role in German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's "Made For Germany" initiative to pump the sagging economy. For this report, Reuters reviewed documents - including previously unreported details from the initial lawsuit, a March filing and email correspondence - and spoke to four people with direct knowledge of the matter on condition of anonymity. Reuters is reporting for the first time fresh details of the case, having reviewed Schiraldi's claim, and how Germany's largest bank is responding. Schiraldi, since leaving the bank, has held other jobs in finance, including leading a Swiss-family investment company, according to his LinkedIn profile. A central plank of Schiraldi's lawyers' argument is that Sewing and the bank scapegoated Schiraldi and a handful of colleagues and later failed to set the record straight. In 2014, Deutsche Bank took the findings of the bank's audit into the MPS trades to its local regulator, the Italian central bank, blaming the "Deal Team" - which included Schiraldi - for "insufficient and selective disclosure" on the trades. The information that was allegedly withheld – how the bank was fetching billions of dollars of bonds that underpinned the deals - allowed Deutsche to book the trades as loans rather than derivatives, the findings from the bank's audit showed. That helped reduce the amount of capital it had to hold to cover risks, making it more profitable. "An appropriate handling ... would have resulted in the transactions either being declined or escalated," Deutsche told the Bank of Italy in 2014, according to slides seen by Reuters. Schiraldi disputes that there was any such cover up of information and that the deals were widely understood. Reuters could not ascertain management's role in signing off on the deals. Deutsche Bank confirmed to Reuters that the "audit identified material failings" but declined to comment on communication with regulators. Schiraldi's lawyers claim Deutsche Bank's audit of the trades had a predetermined outcome and drew on only a fraction of the available documents. In the course of their dispute with the bank, they have successfully obtained the release of several million emails and documents, which they say, in a March 2025 court document seen by Reuters, show flaws in the way the bank handled the case. Reuters could only review a small fraction of the documents. PUBLICITY SEEKING As the bank seeks to quash Schiraldi's claims, one of its management board members has reviewed the case, sifting through emails and documents from the time, according to the person with direct knowledge of the review. Deutsche Bank, in a lengthy response to questions from Reuters, said the allegations were "false", that the audit had been thorough and independent, and that executives involved "discharged their responsibilities appropriately". Sewing had been a credit officer before the audit and approved parts of some other similar deals. "We stand by the audit's core findings," a Deutsche Bank spokesperson said. While the case is due to come before a German court later this year, such disputes may also be settled out of court. In its statement to Reuters, the bank said the claims made in the lawsuit are "based on incorrect allegations", and "an attempt to generate publicity by seeking to cause serious harm to the good reputation of executives.'

Asian shares retreat, tracking tech losses on Wall Street
TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares retreated on Wednesday, tracking a decline on Wall Street led by technology shares including Nvidia and other stars that have been riding the mania surrounding artificial-intelligence. Benchmarks fell in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, pulled lower by selling of computer chip makers. Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei 225 declined 1.7% to 42,787.28. Japan reported its exports fell slightly more than expected in July, pressured by higher tariffs on goods shipped to the U.S. Computer-chip equipment makers Advantest plunged 6.6% and Disco Corp. dropped 4.7%. Chip maker Tokyo Electron lost 1.9%. and Lasertec Corp. lost 1.8%. The Taiex in Taiwan fell 2.4% after chip maker TSMC dropped 3.8%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng slipped 0.6% to 24,980.20 while the Shanghai Composite index edged 0.1% lower to 3,725.22 after China's central bank opted to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged, as markets had expected. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.2% to 8,917.60. South Korea's Kospi dropped 1.4% to 3,096.09, as North Korean leader Kim Jong Un condemned South Korean-U.S. military drills that began this week, and vowed a rapid expansion of his nuclear forces to counter rivals, according to North Korean state media. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 fell 0.6% to 6,411.37, for a third straight loss. It remains near its all-time high set last week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added less than 0.1% to 44,922.27, and the Nasdaq composite slumped 1.5% to 21,314.95. The heaviest weight on the market was Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the move into AI. It sank 3.5%. Another AI darling, Palantir Technologies, dropped 9.4% for the largest loss in the S&P 500. It's seen bets build up sharply that its stock price will drop, according to S3 Partners. Only Meta Platforms has seen a bigger increase this year in what's called 'short interest,' where traders essentially bet a stock's price will fall. Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, sank 2.1%. Criticism has been rising that stock prices across Wall Street have shot too high, too fast since hitting a bottom in April and have become too expensive. Palantir's stock came into Tuesday with a tremendous gain of 130% for the year so far. The priciness of AI-related shares and potential for further trade restrictions in the strategically important chip industry prompted investors to sell. Home Depot's gain of 3.2% was the biggest reason the Dow did better than other indexes. The retailer reported results for the latest quarter that were a bit short of what analysts expected, but it delivered growth in revenue and stood by its prior forecasts for revenue and profit over the full year. The week's headliner for Wall Street is likely arriving on Friday. That's when the chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, will give a highly anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The setting has been home to big policy announcements from the Fed in the past, and the hope on Wall Street is that Powell may hint that cuts to interest rates are coming soon. The Fed has kept its main interest rate steady this year, primarily because of the fear of the possibility that President Donald Trump's tariffs could push inflation higher. But a surprisingly weak report on job growth across the country may be superseding that. Traders on Wall Street widely expect the Fed to cut interest rates at its next meeting in September in order to give the economy a boost. Treasury yields have come down notably in the bond market as a result, and they eased on Tuesday. Strategists at Bank of America warn that Powell may not sound as inclined to cut interest rates as the market is expecting. He could remain non-committal and discuss the possibility of a worst-case scenario for the economy called 'stagflation.' The Fed has no good tool to fix that situation, where the economy stagnates at the same time as inflation remains high. In other dealings early Wednesday, benchmark U.S. crude added 12 cents to $61.89 a barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gained 11 cents to $65.90 a barrel. The U.S. dollar edged down to 147.52 Japanese yen from 147.66 yen. The euro cost $1.1636, down from $1.1648.
