An adviser to the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) has backed Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) appeal against a record €1.06B ($1.16B) fine for antitrust violations and believes a lower court should review it. "Intel's appeal...for abuse of its dominant position should be upheld," said Advocate General Nils Wahl, whose advice is non-binding but is often followed. EU regulators imposed the penalty in 2009 for Intel's attempts to stifle Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD).
