Germany investigates Amazon for potentially abusing market power by controlling third-party sellers' prices.

Germany's Federal Cartel Office has accused Amazon of anti-competitive practices, claiming the company forces third-party sellers to adhere to price limits, reducing product visibility or removing non-compliant items. Amazon, which dominates 60% of online retail in Germany, disputes these claims, arguing its rules benefit customers. The regulator has initiated an investigation into whether Amazon is abusing its market power.
