Telenor offices in Norway raided in competition probe
European and Norwegian authorities raided the offices of telecoms firm Telenor, investigating it over suspected abuse of a dominant market position and anti-competitive practices, it said on Tuesday.
"They came to our offices today and their investigation relates to our leading position in the Norwegian market," spokesman Tor Odland said. "We will of course cooperate with them."
The Norwegian Competition Authority confirmed the raid and said it was intended to collect information either to confirm or dismiss suspicions Telenor breached anti-monopoly laws.
"The fact that the Competition Authority carries out a raid does not mean that the companies are guilty of crimes and says nothing about the ultimate outcome of the case," the watchdog said in a statement.
