5 Jun 2026 Portugal: 8.18 million EUR against three companies over advertising in TV recordings PortugalCartels and collusion €8.18m

With the support of a consultancy, the three largest pay-TV providers agreed from 2019 to May 2025 to introduce advertising as a condition for accessing recordings and to standardise the marketing of this advertising space. The Autoridade da Concorrência (Portuguese Competition Authority, AdC) imposed 8,181,000 EUR on three companies; together with the fourth participant, already sanctioned earlier under a settlement, the fines add up to 13,351,000 EUR. Owing to ongoing court proceedings, the AdC did not publish the names in its announcement.

What organisations can take from it

Jointly coordinated ‘industry solutions’ at customers’ expense are cartels – even when a service provider takes on the coordination.

From 2014 to 2021, the IT consultancy group participated in bilateral agreements not to poach competitors’ employees. The Autoridade da Concorrência (Portuguese Competition Authority, AdC) imposed 3,092,000 EUR on three companies; in March 2026, the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court (TCRS) upheld the fine in full – the first judicial confirmation of a labour market cartel fine in Portugal.

What organisations can take from it

Agreements not to poach each other’s skilled staff are cartels – HR and managers must be aware of this.
