EU antitrust investigators raided Gazprom's German offices, sources said on Thursday, on suspicion that the Russian energy giant had illegally raised prices in Europe.
In a statement, the European Commission said its teams carried out unannounced inspections on Tuesday "at the premises of several companies in Germany active in the supply, transport and storage of natural gas".
Two sources with knowledge of the matter said the main target of the operation was Gazprom, the state-owned gas giant accused of causing an energy crisis in the European Union.
