The talks about a lifebuoy for Alfacam have failed. The company invokes the Business Continuity Act. Alfacam has been in deep financial trouble since the end of last year. The company is carrying a mountain of debt of 58 million euros, the result of an overly ambitious growth policy and the failure of the Exqi media project. The interest costs on that mountain of debt turned out to be unbearable in difficult economic times.
