Feb 18 — The European Union is set to fine Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab about 500 million euros ($539 million) over alleged breaches of EU competition law, the Financial Times reported on Sunday citing unnamed sources.

The fine is expected to be announced early next month, the FT said.

Apple did not respond immediately to a request for comment outside office hours.
