BRUSSELS (Reuters) – EU antitrust regulators are likely to open a full-scale investigation into French media company Vivendi’s proposed acquisition of French peer Lagardere, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
The European Commission is expected to launch an in-depth investigation following the end of its preliminary review of the deal on Nov. 30, the people said.
