French antitrust watchdog raids landscaping service companies

PARIS, Sept 25 (Reuters) - The French competition watchdog raided several landscaping service companies on Friday it suspects of engaging in anti-competitive practices.

• The raid was unannounced and the antitrust officers seized documents, the agency said in a statement.

• The watchdog said it would not identify the companies that were raided.

• The raid does not mean the companies are guilty of anything, it said, adding that the ongoing investigation might establish an infraction down the road.
