Slim Near Victory as Mexican Antitrust Case Loses Steam

Aug. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire Carlos Slim's Mexican wireless carrier is close to prevailing in the country's biggest antitrust case. Only a reversal by one of the nation's five antitrust commissioners, an unprecedented last-minute political maneuver or a judge's intervention can salvage the government's record $1 billion fine against America Movil SAB. Otherwise, the fine under review by the antitrust commission will be overturned or cut when the decision comes around at the end of September.
