The Chinese national bank is demanding DKK 44 million (EUR 5.9 million) and thus lays claim to a large portion of the combined lawsuit from several investors totaling DKK 70 million, which reserves the right to triple the claim to DKK 210 million. Representative for the Chinese bank, consultant firm Deminor, explains to the media that each investor can decide how Vestas' handling of the matter will impact future cooperation.
