However, quoting Dinu Malacopol, the president of both companies, ZF reports that the actual investment in the subsidiary since it was formed two years ago now stands at around €10 million.

The latest funding, by Pinebridge, DCS’s majority shareholder, along with minority shareholders in the cable operator, was made in August, according to the Official Gazette (Monitorul Oficial).
