Goldman Sachs, Prysmian, Nexans face EU fines in April: sources


    BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs , world No. 1 cablemaker Prysmian , Nexans , and several Japanese peers will be fined by the EU antitrust regulator next month for taking part in a cartel, four people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

    The sanctions from the European Commission are the latest action by regulators against price-fixing by cable producers. Authorities in Japan, South Korea and Australia have already levied million-dollar fines for anti-competitive practices.

    The United States Department of Justice is also investigating the cable industry.

    "The Commission's decision is expected to come before Easter (April 20)," the people said.
