Amazon Vows Appeal After Italian Court Cuts Antitrust Fine

U.S. e-commerce leader Amazon is preparing to challenge a recent Italian court decision that lowered a substantial antitrust fine. The company disputes the entire penalty, signaling a continued legal battle over its market practices.

Initially, Italy's antitrust authority levied a 1.13-billion-euro fine in 2021, citing Amazon's abuse of its dominant position in e-commerce logistics. However, a regional court's ruling in September led to a reduction. As of Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the revised fine stands at 752.4 million euros.

Despite the reduction, Amazon intends to appeal, aiming to overturn the charge altogether. Meanwhile, the Italian regulator is reportedly planning its own appeal to contest the fine's decrease, ensuring the dispute over competition in online logistics services will continue.
