Amazon Accused of Price Fixing

The legal filing suggests that Amazon's practices forced retailers such as Walmart and Target to increase their online prices to avoid being undercut.

Bonta is seeking a preliminary injunction to stop these alleged price-fixing tactics while the broader antitrust case proceeds.

Internal emails released as part of the litigation reportedly show Amazon executives coordinating with merchants to maintain high costs for consumers.

If successful, the lawsuit could fundamentally change how the company manages its relationships with third-party sellers and influence national retail pricing standards.
