Four executives Chunghwa Picture Tubes and LG Display, producing LCD panels, admitted fixing prices for the products of their firms, transmits AFP. Each of them is in prison otsidet dollars from six to nine months and a fine of from 20 to 50 thousand dollars.
Of the four defendants, three workers at Chunghwa Picture Tubes, are citizens of Taiwan, and a representative of LG - a citizen of South Korea. This is the first serving tayvantsami prison term in the United States for violation of antitrust laws.
In November 2008, U.S. Department of Justice fined LG Display, Sharp and Chunghwa Picture Tube to 585 million dollars for breach of competition law. Officials felt that the company engaged in conspiracy, attempting to prevent a fall in prices in the market.
American antimonopolschiki note that the four leaders - not only members of collusion. They hope to continue the investigation and do not exclude that in a conspiracy to engage the Americans. In particular, we can talk about Sharp, among the fined for fixing prices of companies.
