EU imposes record $630 million fine on Alibaba’s AliExpress

The European Commission fined AliExpress €550 million under the DSA.

The probe found repeated failures to block illegal and unsafe listings, weak enforcement, and inadequate review processes.

It is the largest DSA penalty so far and signals tougher EU scrutiny of major online marketplaces.

The case underscores EU concerns over counterfeit and non-compliant products spreading on platforms that affect consumer safety.
