The future of Standard is increasingly uncertain. Will 777 Partners be forced to jump ship?
For several weeks, the hypothesis of a return of Bruno Venanzi at the head of Standard is mentioned. The former boss of Maison Rouche could indeed recover his shares if 777 Partners fails to honor its debts.
And given the multiplication of alarm signals regarding the financial situation of the American investment fund, the possibility is anything but zero. Especially since April 20, marking the deadline for the second installment of reimbursement, has passed and Venanzi is still waiting for his due.
According to Sporza, Venanzi does not want a return to the head of Standard, especially not in this way.
Venanzi and D’Onofrio not very interested
He therefore intends to put pressure so that the Standard is sold, and that another buyer starts again on healthier bases. There are rumors of the possibility of local investors taking the reins.
On the - side, we even mention the tiny probability that Lucien D’Onofrio makes its return to the banks of the Meuse. At 69 years old, he would not be interested in such an operation “unless he decides, with a view to a final personal challenge, to surround himself with the right people” specifies the daily. THE Standard will still sail in troubled waters for some time before knowing which captain will take over the ship.
