European Union announces second antitrust investigation into Amazon

The European Union announced it is opening a second antitrust investigation into the online retail giant Amazon and announced its preliminary conclusions into its first investigation on Tuesday.

“The Commission opened a second antitrust investigation into Amazon’s business practices that might artificially favour its own retail offers and offers of marketplace sellers that use Amazon’s logistics and delivery services (the so-called ‘fulfilment by Amazon or FBA sellers’),” the EU’s European Commission wrote in a press release.
