--Reuters published a special report Wednesday citing documents
that the news agency said showed Amazon.com Inc.'s "strategy to
dodge India's regulators."
--Amazon disputed Reuters' findings saying, in a written
response to the news agency, that: "The reporting appears based on
unsubstantiated, incomplete, and/or factually incorrect
information, likely supplied (maliciously) with the intention of
creating sensation and discrediting Amazon."
--The documents, Reuters said, showed that for years the online
retailer gave "preferential treatment to a small group of sellers
on its India platform, publicly misrepresented its ties with the
sellers and used them to circumvent increasingly tough regulatory
restrictions here."
--The documents date from 2012 to 2019 and include drafts of
meeting notes, PowerPoint slides, business reports and emails,
Reuters said.
