What happened

Defendants allegedly participated in an unlawful conspiracy to raise, fix, maintain, or stabilize the price of packaged tuna products at artificially high levels between June 2011 and July 2015, in violation of antitrust and unfair competition laws. The defendants deny many allegations but agreed to settlements to avoid further litigation and trial costs.
