Last week, Italian authorities extradited the former senior vice
president of Cargo Sales and Marketing with Martinair Cargo, Maria
Christina Ullings. Italian authorities apprehended Ullings, a Dutch
national, visiting Sicily in July 2019. A grand jury in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Georgia indicted her
nearly ten years ago for her alleged participation in a global
price-fixing conspiracy in the air cargo industry.
According to the September 2010 indictment, Ullings conspired to
fix and coordinate certain surcharges, including fuel surcharges,
that were charged to customers in the United States and elsewhere
for international air shipments to and from the United States.
Ullings' alleged participation in the conspiracy began at least
as early as January 2001 and continued through at least February
2006.
