Sandiganbayan upholds graft raps vs Elenita Binay
The Sandiganbayan, for the second time, upheld the validity of the graft charges against former Makati City mayor Elenita Binay and four others for the purchase of overpriced furniture and other office fixtures amounting to P 13.25 million. In its four-page resolution last April 19, the graft courts fourth division junked the motion for reconsideration filed by the defendants for lack of merit. In their motion, Binay and Ernesto Aspillaga, the city governments former general services chief, argued that the amended information proposed by the prosecution substantially altered the nature of the offense imputed against them. They said the original charge sheet alleged that they approved the purchase "based on simulated or rigged public bidding", while the new information was based on accusations that the procurement was made without public bidding.
Euro 2012 to stay with 16 teams: hosts present bids
'We have decided today that there will be no expansion of the tournament to 24 teams,' UEFA vice-president Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder said after an executive committee meeting in Cardiff, Wales. The decision comes on the eve of a decision by the UEFA board on the hosts for the 2012 tournament. Three candidates are in the running: Italy, Croatia-Hungary jointly and Poland-Ukraine jointly. UEFA, Europe's ruling body for football, had commissioned a study at the beginning of the year into the idea of a 24-team tournament from 2012. Germany's Mayer-Vorfelder said he believed the decision to retain a 16-team format for the tournament was the correct one. With 53 member associations in UEFA it meant that roughly one in three of the continent's football nations were already represented, he said.
Sainsbury bid close to collapse as two bidding partners pull out
The attempt by a consortium of private equity companies to take over J Sainsbury was close to collapse last night after two of the bidding partners pulled out of the deal and the supermarket chain's founding family rejected an improved £10.1bn offer. The decison by Blackstone Group International and Texas Pacific Group to abandon the proposed deal left CVC Capital Partners as the only remaining bidder. The departure of the two firms followed confirmation from buy-out specialist Kohlberg Kravis Roberts on Thursday that it had left the consortium. .
