May 5 (Reuters) - Escribano Mechanical and Engineering has sold its full stake in Spanish defence company Indra IDR.MC, newspaper Expansion reported on Tuesday.
EM&E, family firm of former Indra chairman Angel Escribano, launched an accelerated placement of its 14.3% stake in Indra after market close, Expansion added.
Angel Escribano resigned from Indra in April after a failed deal with EM&E and reported government pressure for his exit.
EM&E was Indra's second-largest stakeholder behind state-owned Spanish fund SEPI.
An Indra spokesperson and an EM&E representative did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
