Former boss Daniel Tartak has been handed 400 hours of community service and a hefty fine over the illegal price-fixing scheme.
The former boss of waste management firm Bingo Industries will have to pay $100,000 and perform 400 hours of community service after admitting criminal cartel conduct over an illegal price-fixing scheme.
Tartak was handed a two-year prison sentence by the Federal Court on Friday, to be served in the community under an intensive correction order. In delivering the sentences, Justice Michael Wigney said the agreement likely resulted in customers paying more for Bingo's services than they otherwise would have.
Justice Wigney said Bingo was able to increase its prices, and profit from those increased prices, without the usual associated risk of losing customers.
