ROME, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Shares in Italian luxury group Brunello Cucinelli BCU.MI are suspended from trading on the Milan market pending a statement from the company, Borsa Italiana said on Thursday.
The fashion group's stock was down almost 5% on Thursday after financial analysis group Morpheus Capital said it had taken a short position on Cucinelli shares.
The group did not immediately reply to a Reuters request for comment.
