Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) will appeal a recent Italian court decision that reduced—but did not annul—a record antitrust fine, according to reports from Italian daily MF on Wednesday.
The e-commerce giant maintains that it should not be charged at all, escalating a multi-year legal battle over its logistics practices in Europe.
On Monday, Italy’s antitrust regulator, the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM), announced it had recalculated and lowered the penalty to 752.4 million euros ($876.3 million).
This follows an original 1.13 billion-euro fine imposed in 2021, which accused Amazon of leveraging its dominant market position to favor third-party sellers who used its "Fulfillment by Amazon" (FBA) service.
The reduction was a direct result of a regional administrative court ruling from September 2025, which upheld the core findings of the investigation but ordered the regulator to remove a discretionary 50% surcharge from the total.
The legal tug-of-war is set to continue on both sides. While Amazon is seeking a total dismissal of the charges, the AGCM also plans to appeal the court’s decision to reduce the fine, aiming to reinstate the original billion-euro penalty.
