    The U.K. Office of Fair Trading (OFT) announced today that an individual appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court to face a charge of criminal cartel conduct under the U.K.’s Enterprise Act. Peter Nigel Snee was charged on January 13 following an investigation by the OFT. Snee is due to appear in court on February 4 for a preliminary hearing.

    The OFT has conducted a criminal investigation into suspected cartel conduct regarding the supply in the United Kingdom of galvanized steel tanks for water storage. Snee has been charged with dishonestly agreeing with others to divide customers, fix prices and rig bids between 2004 and 2012 in respect of the supply in the U.K. of galvanized steel tanks for water storage. The alleged arrangements related to a number of businesses, including Franklin Hodge Industries Limited, Galglass Limited, Kondea Water Supplies Limited and CST Industries (UK) Limited.

    The OFT is also conducting a related civil investigation into whether businesses have infringed the provisions of the Competition Act 1998 relating to the suspected cartel conduct in respect of the supply of galvanized steel tanks for water storage.
