Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Antitrust regulators in Germany are investigating complaints that Amazon is unfairly leveraging its dominant position in the e-commerce market to affect pricing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Andreas Mundt, president of Germany's Federal Cartel Office, said in a newspaper interview Sunday he's looking into accusations that Amazon is using its powerful position to manipulate how third-party merchants price their merchandise on its digital platform and blocking those deemed to be price gouging during the health crisis.
