France's competition authority raided multiple landscaping service providers during Friday morning's unannounced inspections over suspected anti-competitive practices. Antitrust officers seized internal documents from the targeted firms during the surprise visits. The enforcement action marks an early step in an open-ended inquiry.
The watchdog declined to name the companies subject to the searches, citing confidentiality rules protecting ongoing antitrust proceedings. Officials emphasized that the enforcement visits do not prejudge the outcome of the inquiry or establish wrongdoing by any of the targeted operators.
