Argentina’s Court of Appeal has rejected the appeal made by Loma Negra, Juan Minetti, Cementos Avellaneda, Petroquímica Comodoro Rivadavia and Cemento San Martín, upholding the previous price-fixing ruling and the multi-million peso fines attached.
The companies were awarded fines of ARS300m (US$66.5m) as penalty for anti-competitive practices between 1981-99. Loma Negra will be expected to pay ARS138.7m, Juan Minetti ARS100.1m, Cementos Avellaneda ARS34.6m, Cementos San Martín ARS28.5m, Petroquímica Comodoro Rivadavia ARS6m and Argentina’s cement producers’ association ARS529,289.
