BRUSSELS: Apple, already the subject of EU antitrust scrutiny, on April 11 became the target of a Dutch investigation for allegedly favouring its own apps on its popular App Store.

Dutch competition agency ACM suggested the investigation may be expanded to Google's Play Store in future because of similar business practices by the company. Both services are lucrative money spinners for Apple and Google.
