"The skinny jean is not going anywhere anytime soon," Bergh said.

Nov 8 (Reuters) - Kohl's Corp (KSS.N) Chief Executive Michelle Gass will step down and take the helm at Levi Strauss & Co (LEVI.N) amid renewed calls from activist investors for management and board reshuffles at the struggling department store chain. Gass came under renewed pressure from hedge funds Macellum Advisors and Ancora Holdings after Kohl's decided in July to remain independent after exploring a sale. The former Starbucks (SBUX.O) executive, who became Kohl's CEO in 2018, will leave in December to become president at Levi's early next year before taking over from long-time boss Chip Bergh within 18 months. At Levi's, Gass faces the challenge of helping the denim maker navigate out of an inflationary environment that has caused a slump in discretionary spending and hit earnings. Kohl's said Tom Kingsbury, a director nominated by Macellum and Ancora last year, will serve as interim CEO from Dec. 2.

OSLO, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Norway police arrested a Russian man at the airport in the arctic town of Tromsoe and charged him with flying a drone, they said on Saturday, marking the second such arrest in one week. Police seized a large amount of photographic gear, including a drone and several memory cards, during Friday's arrest of the 51-year-old, who had admitted to flying a drone in Norway, police said. Sanctions laws forbid Russian companies or citizens from operating aircraft in Norway. It marks the second arrest in one week of a Russian citizen for flying drones in Norway, with another man detained for an initial two week-period following an arrest at the Storskog border crossing. Norway is now Europe's largest gas supplier after a sharp reduction in flows from Russia.

Or, Moser a fost și vânzător, reprezentând Easeur Holding BV (deținută de Rafiq Aliyev, pe atunci aflat în închisoare în Azerbaijan) și cumpărător, deoarece era fondatorul nou createi Danube Logistics Holding BV. Aici merită să menționăm suma tranzacției - 340,60 dolari, pentru cota de 80% din Danube Logistics SRL. Ultimul susținea ulterior că totul a fost legal, iar valoarea tranzacției de preluare a Danube Logistics SRL a fost mai mare. Danube Logistics Holding BV consideră că Bemol încearcă acum să submineze tranzacția în cauză, urmărind în justiție partea socială deținută de Danube Logistics Holding BV în cadrul Danube Logistics SRL, în baza unei acțiuni care nu are nicio legătură cu Danube Logistics Holding BV. După semnarea Acordului Azertrans SRL (redenumită apoi Danube Logistics) a preluat şi terminalul petrolier nefinalizat.
