Western Union Disappointed by Court Ruling

The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU) announced today that a ruling was released yesterday afternoon by the Arizona Court of Appeals that overturns some of an Arizona trial court´s 2007 decision in favor of the company concerning the authority of the Arizona Attorney General to seize certain money transfers originated outside Arizona and intended for payment in Mexico.
