这些集装箱是多式联运集装箱,每年将价值数十亿美元的货物运往美国家庭。补充起诉书共指控 11 名被告,其中包括马南庆的 10 名同谋。

“这些被告被指控企图利用全球疫情牟取暴利。他们非法串谋操纵价格并限制集装箱供应,导致美国消费者不得不支付更高的价格,并等待更长时间才能收到关键物资,”加州北区联邦检察官克雷格·H·米萨基安表示。

根据补充起诉书的指控,早在 2019年3月,几名共谋者就开始讨论限制标准干货集装箱产量并操纵其价格的计划。

2019年11月14日左右,中集集团的万永波和黄田化、上海寰宇物流装备的李前敏、新华昌集团的张钰强以及“共谋公司 A” 的一名同谋高管在深圳中集集团总部会面。该协议的目标是提高标准干货集装箱的价格。

为此,他们同意通过各种手段限制中集集团、上海寰宇物流装备、新华昌集团以及共谋公司 A 的标准干货集装箱产量,包括以下几大措施:

  • Limiting the number of shifts and hours that each production line for standard dry containers could run per day;
    限制每条标准干货容器生产线每天可运行的班次和工时数;
  • Installing 87 video surveillance cameras on all 49 dry container production lines to ensure that the companies did not exceed the agreed-upon limitations;

补充起诉书指控被告违反《谢尔曼反垄断法》第 1 条(15 USC § 1),犯有限制贸易的共谋罪。违反《谢尔曼法》对个人最高可判处 10 年监禁和 100 万美元罚款,对公司最高可处以 1 亿美元罚款。

如果犯罪所得或受害人损失超过法定最高罚款额,罚款可增至犯罪所得或受害人损失的两倍。联邦地区法院法官将在考虑《美国量刑指南》和其他法定因素后确定最终刑期。
