Italy’s antitrust authority said it’s investigating Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. after a local retailer complained they’d been banned from re-selling products on the online marketplace.
The Italian offices of both companies were inspected Wednesday by authorities, according to a statement Wednesday. Apple and Amazon are suspected of unfairly curbing the sale of the iPhone maker’s Beats products by anyone other than members of its official reseller program.
