In 2006, Aalberts was fined over €100 million by the European Commission for allegedly being part of a cartel for copper fittings. Aalberts appealed the decision and in 2011 the European Court of Justice acquitted Aalberts. However, the European Commission appealed that ruling. In July 2013, the Court finally acquitted Aalberts on appeal. The company has always denied involvement in the cartel and never made any provision for the fine.[3]
