Romanian businessman Dinu Patriciu has withdrawn from the Corect publishing project, having sold his 60 percent share package in the project to partner Sorina Rosca Stanescu and to his wife.

Virtual Big Bang (VBB), the company which controls several news websites, a online bookstore and an e-commerce site, was started in 2010. The first of its projects, the online bookshop, was launched three months ago.

The online platform includes a news website – Corect News, with seven online newspapers. Dinu Patriciu is one of the largest media investors in Romania, having bought the Adevarul media holding. He plans to start a TV station as well.
