(Adds detail on Fininvest control)
MILAN, July 6 (Reuters) -
Silvio Berlusconi's eldest children Marina and Pier Silvio
will jointly have a majority stake over family holding company
Finivest, a source said on Thursday.
Marina and Pier Silvio Berlusconi, who both have
executive roles in the family business, will hold a joint 53%
stake the source said, confirming an earlier report from ANSA
news agency.
Berlusconi's five children earlier said in a statement
that "no shareholder will exercise overall individual indirect
control of Fininvest SpA, previously exercised by their father".
Berlusconi died in Milan on June 12 at the age of 86. He
was suffering from leukaemia and had recently contracted a lung
infection.
