Japan Fair Trade Commission said to have raided Amazon Japan offices

Suspicion of possible anti-trust violation

Headline via Reuters. It's not something all too new. They have raided local Amazon offices in the past, on quite a number of occasions too.

Apparently, the allegations are on the count of "anti-trust violation" whereby they are saying that Amazon is forcing retailers to lower the prices in order to give its site an advantage over rival e-commerce sites.
