Closing the Chapter on the Coastwise Price-Fixing, Antitrust Charges against Major U.S. Shipper

Hat tip to a reader who sent two documents relating to the Horizon Coastwise Antitrust case. I posted about a parallel civil companion case here.

The Department of Justice Press Release is here.  The Sentencing Memorandum is here.

Per the Press Release:

Horizon Lines LLC has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $45 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices in the coastal water freight transportation industry, the Department of Justice announced today.
