Ten U.K. demolition contractors have been fined nearly $75 million for bid rigging on 19 contracts with a combined value of $185 million. The nation's Competition and Markets Authority also disqualified three former and current directors of two of the firms from holding senior corporate posts for up to 7.5 years for "the unlawful conduct."
Each of the firms was involved in bid rigging between January 2013 and June 2018. Projects included the high-profile remodeling of London's historic Bow Street Magistrates' Court and a police training college. At least two of the firms have since ceased operations.
