Poste Italiane on Tuesday hit back at
allegations levelled against it by the antitrust authority as it
fined the postal company five million euros for "improper
commercial practices" regarding registered-mail services.
The authority said that, in addition to harming consumers,Poste
Italiane had damaged the justice system as several criminal
cases had timed out because of delays.
Poste Italiane said that the "contents of the antitrust
authority's statement are unacceptable".
It added that the "reference to serious damage to the country's
judicial system is baffling".
The company said it would "defend its image and reputation, its
rights and the correctness of its conduct" with an appeal to the
regional administrative court.
