An unredacted complaint filed by the Federal Trade Commission and 22 states accuses Amazon of inflating prices in its online search ad auction, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The updated suit alleges that Amazon secretly raised prices by up to 50% over auction results on ordinary days and more than tripled prices on Prime Day, Black Friday and other major shopping days.
Amazon denies the claims. The case, initially back to August, is on file with the U.S. District Court with the Western District of Washington.
