The FCO only terminated proceedings in one horizontal cartel case in 2024, i.e., in the construction sector regarding the renovation of Cologne's Zoobridge. On December 6, 2024, the FCO fined Strabag AG, Cologne, for bid rigging in the amount of € 2.79 million (see press release here ). The case was triggered by an anonymous hint via the FCO's whistleblower tool. Kenna received no fine because it applied for leniency and was the first to submit evidence to allow the FCO to prove the infringement (Section 81k(2) ARC). Strabag also cooperated with the FCO and agreed to the fine in a settlement.
