Summary

A group of Altice International creditors, including Elliott Investment Management, Arini Capital Management, and Diameter Capital Partners, has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, alleging that the company unlawfully transferred billions of dollars worth of assets beyond their reach.
