| Sme: Antimonopoly Office raids Panta Rhei |
| Bratislava, 16.05.2015 |
|
| Inspectors from the Antimonopoly Office (PMÚ) raided Slovakia’s biggest bookstore chain Panta Rhei in April but the information leaked just recently, the Sme daily reported. PMÚ however has not confirmed it admitting only it raided two firms in April.
“We will not be specific about names of companies at this stage [of invesstigation],” PMÚ spokeswoman Andrea Wilhelmová told the daily.
According to Sme, one group of PMÚ searched also offices of Diversified Retail Company which co-owns Panta Rhei and it is close to J&T financial group.
The investigation is connected to J&T’s influence in book market. In early March, more than two dozen publishers signed a joint statement expressing concern about alleged attempts by J&T to control Panta Rhei, and its biggest book distribution company, Ikar, in order, they allege, to eliminate competition.
