Amazon.com Inc failed to meet British regulators’ deadlines to hand over emails between senior bosses, including chief executive officer Jeff Bezos, during a probe of the retail giant’s investment into Deliveroo.

The UK’s antitrust watchdog fined Amazon £55,000 (RM301,169) for being late in providing internal documents crucial to the investigation. A total of 189 documents were provided between a few days and more than two months after deadlines, and only after repeated follow-ups by the regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority said in a report published Monday.
