BRUSSELS – EU antitrust regulators on Tuesday launched an investigation into ******* online food takeaway firm Delivery hero and its Spanish unit Glovo on concerns that the two companies may have taken part in an online food delivery cartel.

Earlier this month, Delivery Hero warned that the ********* Commission might fine it more than 400 million euros ($435 million) due to antitrust violations.

The EU investigation followed two dawn raids last year.

Delivery Hero held a ********* share in Glovo in 2018 and acquired sole control in July 2022.

“The Commission is concerned that, before the takeover, Delivery Hero and Glovo may have allocated geographic markets and shared commercially sensitive information,” the EU watchdog said.

It said the companies may have agreed not to poach each other’s employees and that these practices may have been facilitated by Delivery Hero’s ********* share in Glovo.

“Online food delivery is a fast-growing sector, where we must protect competition,” EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.

Companies risk fines as much as 10% of their global annual turnover for EU antitrust violations.
