Turkey's competition authority opened an investigation Tuesday on claims that tech giant Google uses abusive tactics against rival companies.
"The Competition Board concluded a preliminary analysis on [the behavior of] Google," said an official announcement.
The claim under investigation is that Google abused its dominant position in the market to highlight its local search services in a way that would exclude rival companies.
The investigation includes Turkish Google Reklamcilik ve Pazarlama Ltd., Google International LLC, Google LLC, Google Ireland Ltd., and Alphabet Inc., it added.
