Antimonopoly Office imposes more fines for obstructing its inspections

The Czech Office for the Protection of Competition has imposed a fine of almost the maximum possible amount (in this particular case) of CZK 22.5 million on an electronics distributor. The Office has already applied a similarly strict fining procedure in recent months against other competitors in at least three other proceedings for obstruction of its local inspections.
