Reuters reveals former Amazon India seller says antitrust raid illegally detained employees

Reuters exclusively reported that a former top seller for Amazon in India, Cloudtail, has accused India’s antitrust agency of illegally detaining its employees during a raid over suspected competition law violations. Cloudtail, among a handful of online sellers raided in an investigation of Amazon and Walmart’s Flipkart over suspected preferential treatment on e-commerce platforms, argued in a court filing the detentions were cause for disallowing materials taken during the raid.
