L’Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (Agcm) ha avviato un’istruttoria nei confronti della Caronte & Tourist S.p.A., per accertare l’esistenza di possibili violazioni dell’articolo 3 della legge 287/90.
In particolare, a seguito di una denuncia sporta nel 2018, l’Agcm ha avviato una serie di indagini preistruttorie al fine di inquadrare le possibili condotte anticoncorrenziali della Caronte & Tourist S.p.A. Tali condotte consisterebbero nell’applicazione di tariffe particolarmente gravose ai passeggeri con veicoli gommati al seguito sulla rotta Messina-Rada San Francesco/Villa San Giovanni, per la quale la Caronte & Tourist S.p.A. gode di una posizione di monopolio di fatto.
Secondo l’Agcm, tali condotte potrebbero costituire un abuso del proprio potere monopolistico, suscettibile di integrare violazioni dell’art. 3, comma 1, lett. a) della legge n. 287/90.
Il procedimento dovrà concludersi entro il 31 dicembre 2021.
Il provvedimento è disponibile qui: A541.
