From CNET: Uber and two of its executives were issued with fines on Wednesday by a French court for running an illegal transport service in Paris, reported Reuters.
At the heart of the dispute is the low-cost Uber POP ride-hailing service, which uses non-professional drivers with their own cares to provide lifts to Uber customers.
The service was shut down in Paris after it was declared illegal, but that hasn't stopped the city's criminal court ordering Uber to pay 800,000 euros in total in various fines, as well as imposing smaller penalties on Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, the company's head of Europe, Middle East and Africa and Thibaud Simphal, Uber's general manager for France.
