Berlin – According to a newspaper report, the German Federal Cartel Office is investigating the allegation that Amazon abused a dominant position during the corona pandemic. “We are currently investigating whether and how Amazon influences retailers’ pricing on the marketplace,” said President Andreas Mundt of the “FAZ”, according to a preliminary report from the Monday edition. During the first months of the corona pandemic, there were complaints that Amazon had blocked retailers because of allegedly excessive prices. “Amazon must not be a price controller. That also applies now.”
