According to the latest data, an investigation has been launched against Apple in the United States, the purpose of which is to determine whether the company is engaged in defrauding customers. Details of the investigation were not disclosed, but it is known that the Texas Attorney General plans to sue Apple for deceptive trading practices in several states.
The document, which fell into the hands of representatives of the online publication Axios, dates back to March of this year, and it says that the Texas Consumer Protection Department initiated an enforcement investigation, and if violations are found, enforcement proceedings will be opened against Apple. Axios points out that the Texas Consumer Law provides for punishment for false or misleading sales policies, but the document does not mention what actions on the part of the company led to the investigation. A spokesman for the Texas Attorney General declined to comment on this information.
Recall that recently Apple also faced an antitrust investigation in the United States and an antitrust complaint from the European Commission due to the policies of the App Store branded app store. CEO Tim Cook is called to testify at a US antitrust hearing on Monday, July 27.
