A year after ousting ArcelorMittal, Italy is preparing to hand over control of its giant ex-Ilva steelworks to Azerbaijan's Baku Steel, the industry minister said Thursday.
Adolfo Urso said Baku Steel was deemed to have made the "best offer" out of three bidders for the plant in the southern city of Taranto, one of Europe's largest steelworks, which has struggled for years.
