ROME, July 23 (Xinhua) -- U.S. online retailer Amazon and tech giant Apple on Thursday issued statements denying wrongdoing, a day after Italy's main competition regulator announced it had raided their Italian offices looking for evidence of anti-competitive behavior.

Italy's Authority for Competition and Markets announced it had carried out unannounced raids on the local offices of both Amazon and Apple, as part of a probe into whether the companies engaged in price-fixing for Apple-made products and those from headphone maker Beats.
