Non-transparent certifications, the consumer magazine fined by the Antitrust

It doesn’t happen every day: a magazine dealing with consumer rights is sanctioned by the Antitrust for unfair commercial practice. Antitrust has in fact imposed a fine of € 25,000 on the company it publishes The Lifebuoy, a newspaper specialized in comparative tests “against consumer scams”.

But the Lifebuoy also deals with something else: assigning awards or stamps to companies against payment.
