Former Bumble Bee Foods Senior Vice President Walter Scott Cameron faces a maximum penalty of 10 years and a fine of up to $1 million (€926,400) as part of his plea agreement with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) for his involvement in an alleged price-fixing conspiracy, according to court documents.

The DOJ filed the plea deal in a Northern California court last week.

He previously agreed to plead guilty for his role in a packaged seafood price fixing deal at the end of last year.
