Shipping companies allegedly conspired to inflate prices for transporting goods to Puerto Rico and added illegal surcharges, according to an antitrust lawsuit filed in the island’s U.S. District Court.
The suit seeks unspecified damages from several U.S. companies, and it comes amid an FBI investigation into pricing practices of ocean carriers operating in the territory.
The suit was filed Tuesday by a law firm representing La Esperanza Bus Line, which ships buses to Puerto Rico from the U.S. mainland.”*
