Background

On 30 April 2025, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found that Apple “willfully violated” her 2021 injunction in the Epic Games antitrust matter and wrote that Alex Roman, Apple’s Vice-President of Finance, “outright lied under oath” regarding Apple’s new 27% out-of-App-Store commission. The judge referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to consider criminal-contempt or perjury proceedings. (Business Insider)
