Amazon to appeal against Italian fine, even after it was cut, paper says

ROME, Jan 14 (Reuters) - U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon will appeal ​against a decision by ‌an Italian court that reduced a fine ‌imposed by the country's antitrust regulator as it believes it should not be charged at all, ⁠Italian daily ‌MF reported on Wednesday.

On Monday, Italy's antitrust authority said ‍it had reduced to 752.4 million euros ($876.3 million) a 1.13-billion-euro fine it ​imposed on Amazon in 2021 ‌for abusing its dominant position, restricting competition in e-commerce logistics services in Italy.

The reduction followed a regional administrative court ruling last ⁠September.

The Italian regulator ​will also appeal ​against the ruling to reduce the fine, MF reported.

The antitrust ‍authority ⁠declined to comment. Amazon did not immediately reply a request ⁠for comment.
