24 Sep 2026 M&J GroupCMA: fines against construction firm and two employees for concealing evidence during an inspection United KingdomCartels and collusion €58,149

During an inspection as part of an investigation into bid rigging, the Estimating Director Barry Pirrie instructed the Office Manager Tracey Woods to remove a work mobile phone and documents from the premises, and denied having a work mobile phone. The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) imposed fines of 25,000 GBP on M&J, 20,000 GBP on Pirrie and 5,000 GBP on Woods.

What organisations can take from it

Dawn raid training is mandatory: anyone who removes mobile phones or documents during an inspection is personally liable – even when acting on a superior's instructions.

Relevance to training and awareness

Correct conduct during inspections (dawn raids), no removal of evidence
