Car price-fixing cartel fined
A subsidiary of one of the country’s biggest car dealerships and its two former directors have been fined €30,000 each for their role in a price-fixing cartel involving Citroen car dealers in Leinster.
The directors, Brian Smyth (aged 51), of Castlelands, Balbriggan, and Michael Patrick Gibbs (aged 50), of Upper Carrickhill Road, Portmarnock, were also given a six-month suspended sentence from Judge Katherine Delahunt at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
