News Clipping

 

Posteel Fined for Collusion

KOREA TIMES: 2001/09/10

 

The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) yesterday re-issued an order to Posteel, the trading and sales arm of steel giant POSCO, to correct illegal steel price collusion in 1998.

 

The re-issuance follows an appeal and another guilty verdict coming down from the Supreme Court.

 

The regulatory body said that it imposed a 3.08 billion won fine for past illegal collusion on the price of black plate, a type of steel, with Dongbu Steel, Dongyang Tinplate and Shinhwa Silup between April and June in 1998.

 

The FTC originally accused Posteel of collusion in November 1998, but Posteel brought litigation against the commission at that time, leading to the most recent Supreme Court ruling.
