Apple raided in France over antitrust allegations

By Dave Neal Mon Jul 01 2013

GADGET DESIGNER Apple reportedly has been raided in France by antitrust enforcement officers concerned about unfair business practices.We are waiting for Apple to confirm reports from French language news website Les Echos, but had not heard anything at the time of publication. On the website we read that Apple was raided because it might be harming French retailers by offering the best deals on its gadgets in its own stores. The report said that Apple and a number of wholesalers including Ingram Micro and Techdata were raided by the Autorite de la Concurrence last week. Documents were taken by investigators and are being examined. Investigators spent about 24 hours on the premises that were searched. An Ingram Micro spokesperson told The INQUIRER in a statement "I can confirm that the French competition authorities have visited Ingram Micro and that we are fully cooperating with the investigation." Techdata was not immediately available for comment.
