A Clesa official said the report in financial daily Expansion was “completely false.” She reiterated prior company assertions that Parmalat’s legal woes will not affect the Italian dairy group’s 100% Spanish subsidiary. Clesa has always maintained separate accounts and commercial channels, the spokeswoman explained.
