The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is expected to file a lawsuit against Amazon for antitrust violations, marking the agency’s fourth action against the online retail giant this year. The case, which is expected to be filed in federal court, will focus on Amazon’s pricing policies, an issue that has already led to a separate suit by California’s attorney general. Additionally, the complaint will address allegations that Amazon illegally ties merchant access to its marketplace to the use of its logistics service, potentially impacting the company’s Prime membership program, a key driver of customer loyalty.
