Turkey’s antitrust authority opened an investigation into Diageo Plc’s Mey Icki unit amid allegations that the raki maker abused its market dominance in the country.
Preliminary findings submitted to the Ankara-based competition board were deemed to be “serious and adequate,” justifying a probe, the regulator said on its website Tuesday. A representative for Diageo said Mey Icki will review the issues raised and respond within a required time limit.
