Madrid, Andalusia and Catalonia are the autonomous communities in which the greatest number of claims have been collected, accumulating more than 50% and an approximate amount of 74 million euros. By brands, Seat, Citroën and Volkswagen are the ones with the most claimants attached to the AACC.
The Car Manufacturers Cartel
The National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) concluded in 2015 that the former PSA (now part of Stellantis), Ford, General Motors, Fiat, Nissan, Toyota, BMW and around fifteen other companies continuously exchanged confidential information to control the vehicle distribution market, as well as after-sales services for repair, maintenance and spare parts.
The regulatory body imposed the largest fine in its history on the manufacturers, 171 million euros distributed among 23 companies. The National Court confirmed the sanctions imposed by the CNMC in judgments handed down in December 2019, dismissing the appeals filed by the companies involved.
During the past year, Chamber III of the Contentious-Administrative Supreme Court has dismissed the appeals filed by 15 of the manufacturers and, therefore, the fines imposed for practices contrary to the Competition Law are final, hoping that In a short time, the same position will be adopted with the rest of the companies involved in the plot.
