There may be more to worry about than just getting sued if you’re a higher-up at Apple. It would seem that France has legislation that opens up the possibility of prison time for executives of the company.
It believes Apple could be liable for a fine in line with the value of all its iPhone French sales since the law came into force. The suit will be heard in a criminal court if prosecutors decide it is legitimate. The maximum penalty is a prison sentence of two years, a fine of up to 300,000 euros, and five percent of the firm’s annual turnover.
