Murdoch fa cassa (in Russia)

News Corp. Sells Russian Unit – NYTimes.com.

The News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch’s media conglomerate embroiled in scandal, sold its billboard company in Russia to a consortium of investors led by a Kremlin-controlled bank, the bank announced on Friday.
The sale of News Outdoor Russia had been under negotiation for at least months. The timing was apparently unrelated to the turmoil around the News Corporation in Britain, where Parliament is investigating a tabloid newspaper’s practice of hacking into cell phones to obtain information.
