The Repression of Fraud (DGCCRF) announces this Wednesday to claim from the giant Amazon the payment of a penalty payment of 3.3 million euros.
The move comes after a “delay in bringing into compliance” contracts with merchants who sell products on the platform.
The DGCCRF recalls that it ordered Amazon, in December 2021, to modify certain clauses “due in particular to a significant imbalance in these contractual conditions in favor of Amazon.
This injunction was accompanied by a fine of 90,000 euros per day of delay”.
The "penalty" of 3.3 million euros corresponds to "a late return to compliance on April 28, 2022".
