An announcement from ITOCHU ENEX CO., LTD. ( (JP:8133) ) is now available.
Itochu Enex disclosed that its consolidated subsidiary ENEX FLEET CO., LTD., which conducts fuel-related business for trucking firms and other customers, has been investigated since May 2025 by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and the Japan Fair Trade Commission over suspected violations of Japan’s Antimonopoly Act related to diesel fuel sales. ENEX FLEET, despite fully cooperating with authorities, has now been criminally accused by the Japan Fair Trade Commission and indicted by prosecutors, prompting Itochu Enex to issue a formal apology and pledge stronger group-wide compliance measures to rebuild trust with business partners, shareholders, and broader stakeholders.
The company’s statement underscores the seriousness of the legal exposure facing its fuel distribution operations and signals a likely tightening of internal controls and governance across the group. While the immediate financial impact was not disclosed, the case could affect Itochu Enex’s reputation in Japan’s energy and logistics sectors and may draw closer regulatory scrutiny on pricing and competitive practices in the commercial diesel market.
