공정위는 앞선 2016년 7월13일 롯데마트가 같은 이유로 과징금 3억1,900만원과 시정명령을 받았음에도 이를 개선하지 않고 위법 행위를 계속했다고 판단했다.
The Fair Trade Commission earlier judged that Lotte Mart did not improve the fine and continued its illegal activities on July 13, 2016, even though it received 319 million won in fines and a correction order for the same reason.
