The Americans sold in three trading sessions in July around1,000 Romcab shares for which they collected 5,000 RON (1,160euros). If it carried on at this pace, it would take Morgan Stanleymore than 10 years to exit the wiring manufacturer.
The American bank bought a 23% stake in Romcab in 2007 viabrokerage HTI Valori Imobiliare, led by Daniel Ţepeş, for around3.7 million euros.
