Oil giants indicted for price fixing in New York
Seven major oil companies Mobil Exxon Texaco Amoco Gulf Shell and Sunoco were indicted in Manhattan Supreme Court on charges of fixing competition to push independent gas stations out of business. The grand jury alleged they restrained price competition in markets with few independents and used discriminatory rebates. Exxon Mobil Gulf also faced a separate ant bidding conspiracy over city and state fuel contracts. If convicted fines could reach 50 000 per company and three firms risk five year bans from selling to government entities if immunity waivers were refused.
