France: Competition Authority raids Numericable

By  |  April 2, 2015

The French Competition Authority investigation has raided the headquarters of SFR in Saint-Denis and Numericable in Champs-sur-Marne and seized hard drives.

France’s Autorité de la Concurrence searched the offices after rival Bouygues Telecom raised concerns with the competition authority over whether Numericable and SFR began working together on commercial offers before they received the official green light from the antitrust body, the people familiar with the matter said.

SFR-Numericable on Thursday informed its employees that officials from the antitrust watchdog have sealed off certain offices as part of an investigation, according to an email to staff reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
