Amazon.com Inc. lost a European Union court bid to prevent the bloc’s antitrust arm and Italy running parallel investigations into concerns over how the e-commerce giant treats sellers on its platform.

The company’s challenge to a decision that allowed an Italian probe to continue alongside the European Commission’s own case was inadmissible, the EU General Court in Luxembourg said in an order published on its website.
