More antitrust scrutiny for Amazon in Europe: The UK’s antitrust watchdog has opened an investigation into Amazon’s marketplace on the same day Germany’s regulator has confirmed it can apply special abuse controls to the ecommerce giant.

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said the probe will consider — firstly — whether Amazon has a dominant position in the market and, if so, whether it is abusing that position and distorting competition by giving an unfair advantage to its own retail business or sellers that use its services, compared to other third-party sellers on the Amazon UK Marketplace.
