Greece imposes hefty fines on two multinational companies for excessive profit margins
Specifically, fines of one million euros were imposed on Procter & Gamble Greece Limited and Elais Unilever Hellas SA.
In a statement, Skrekas said: "We have made clear in all tones and in all directions that nobody is above the law. We are determined to implement the law in order to avert profiteering and to boost healthy competition for the benefit of Greek families. Everyone needs to be aware that the situation is critical and of the difficulty households face in accessing basic consumer goods.
Dealing with inflation, and especially greedflation, is primarily an issue of social responsibility but also for ensuring society's cohesion. The inspections will continue and the fines will be imposed without hesitation. The fight with high prices is ongoing and constant. We will not rest."
