The Czechoslovak Group (CSG) has taken over a 57-hectare industrial site in Gnaschwitz and plans to invest more than 100 million euros.

Hunterbrook Media has opened a short position in Czechoslovak Group and questions the prospectus‑stated production figures for 155‑millimeter ammunition as well as undisclosed shareholder agreements.

It also cites reports of a NATO suspension of a Spanish plant, the exercise of a put option by a minority shareholder, and undisclosed pre‑transfers to the founder; Czechoslovak Group rejects all allegations. » Mere på de.investing.com
