MILAN (ITALY) – Italy’s antitrust authority said on Wednesday it has begun a probe to ascertain whether Apple Inc and Amazon Inc engaged in anti-competitive cooperation to sell Apple products and Beats headphones.
It said the probe was aimed at finding out if Apple and Amazon had reached an anti-competitive pact to prevent electronics retailers not included in Apple’s official programme to sell the products.
Antitrust officials conducted a search in Amazon and Apple offices in Italy on Wednesday.
