It seems that EU antitrust officials have raided Intels offices all over Europe today. The most they would say is that it’s because of an “ongoing antitrust investigation”:
As part of the dawn raid, European Commission officials and national competition authorities in Milan, Italy; Munich, Germany; Madrid, Spain; and Swindon, England, descended on several Intel offices, a Commission representative said and an Intel representative confirmed. The officials also visited a number of companies that manufacture or sell computers.
“These inspections are being carried out within the framework of an ongoing investigation,” a Commission representative said.
Intel said it is cooperating fully with investigators.
“Our normal business practice is to cooperate, and we are doing (that) so far in this case,” Intel representative Chuck Mulloy told CNET News.com. “We firmly believe that our business practices are fair and lawful.”
It’ll be interesting to see how this pans out.
