The EU Commission is investigating several online delivery services, including Delivery Hero. It is about the suspicion of cartel formation.
Due to the suspicion of cartel formation and anti-competitive behavior, the EU Commission has had the offices of several online delivery services searched, including those of the food delivery service Delivery Hero in Berlin.
The company confirmed the processes on Wednesday on request. The company emphasized on Wednesday that it cannot be deduced from the fact of the Commission’s investigations alone that Delivery Hero was actually involved in such practices. The EU Commission itself had previously made a similar statement about the investigations. Delivery Hero is fully cooperating with the Commission, the company said.
According to their own statements, the competition authorities are following up on indications that several online delivery services are said to have agreed, among other things, on the division of national markets. On Wednesday, it was initially unclear on which day, at which other companies, in which countries and to what extent the inspections were carried out.
