Zenith Media, led by Maria Tudor, has requested in Court the suspension of the EUR 478,560 fine levied in October by the Competition Council.

At that time, eleven media agencies were fined with EUR 3.2 million in total, being charged with forming a cartel, according to Paginademedia.ro

Zenith Media appealed against the decision after the Competition Council sent media agencies the definitive decision with the result of the investigation. The appeal was registered on October 8 at the Bucharest Court of Appeal.

It is expected that other agencies will contest in court the Competition Council decision.

The court can suspend the payment of the fine if the agency that is fined pays a bail of up to 20 percent from the contested sum.

– B.V. McCann-Erickson S.R.L: RON 3,218,755 (EUR 717,719);
