BBC Scotland news manipulation over Ibrox price fixing cartel
BBC Scotland are walking on egg-shells to distance their favourite football club from a price fixing cartel that ripped off loyal bears for £5 per shirt for almost a year.
The ruling from the Competition and Marketing Authority was clearly set out in a press release as involving three parties.
Following a seven year stand off BBC Scotland went out of their way to drop the club at the centre of the issue out of the headline.
The fines were split in three different amounts but without instructions from Ibrox there would be no case for JD Sports and Elite Sports to answer to.
? We’ve fined Elite Sports, @JDSports and @RangersFC a total of over £2 million after they admitted fixing the prices fans paid for certain Rangers FC-branded merchandise.
We don’t hesitate to act when companies work together to keep prices up.https://t.co/aQSgAw3bEY pic.twitter.com/p00UDeObtr
