The Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) has issued an 1 million euro fine ($1.16 million) to Chinese fast fashion platform Shein over “misleading” and “deceptive” environmental claims, the regulator said on Monday.

The fine was imposed on Infinite Styles Services Co. Ltd, a Dublin-based company that manages Shein’s websites in Europe.
