The Dutch antitrust regulator has issued a sixth weekly fine of 5 million euro ($5.7 million) against Apple, Reuters reports.
The regulator is fining the U.S
tech giant for failure to comply with an order to open its App Store to alternative forms of payment for dating apps in the Netherlands.
The development is anthitetical to Apple’s claims that it had already obeyed the watchdog’s order.
Earlier on Monday, PageOne.ng reported that Apple had informed the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) it believed it had already complied with the watchdog’s order.
The ACM said in a statement that it was not aware of any change in Apple’s position and it imposed the new fine.
