BERLIN nike air max 90 uomo scontate , July 24 (Xinhua) -- German politicians, industry experts and consumer rights advocates lined up on Monday to attack the country's leading carmakers over allegations of illicit collusion.
"The competition authorities must conduct investigations, scrutinize the accusations and draw the necessary consequences scarpe air max 90 italia scontate ," German Minister of Transport Alexander Dobrindt said.
