A French court has convicted Uber and two of its executives of deceptive commercial practices and illegal business activity over its low-cost ride service.
The court fined the company 800,000 euros (£625,000) and fined regional Uber executive Pierre-Dimitry Gore-Coty 30,000 euros (£23,440), and Uber’s France general manager Thibaud Simphal 20,000 euros (£15,630). Half of all the fines were suspended.
The court did not hand prison terms, and rejected a prosecutor’s request that the two executives be barred from running any company for five years.
