PARIS (Reuters) - France's competition authority issued a total fine of 189 million euros ($214 million) on six home appliance manufacturing companies for price-rigging.
The French competition authority said on Thursday that the six companies concerned were Whirlpool (N:WHR), Electrolux (ST:ELUXb), Bosch's BSH unit (UL:ROBG), Indesit, Candy Hoover and Eberhardt Frères.
It added that the fine, which was the result of a probe that had first started in 2012, was its biggest in 2018.
