REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Alphabet Inc FollowTOKYO, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Japan's competition watchdog on Monday said it would start investigating Google's (GOOGL.O) possible breach of antimonopoly laws in web search services, following similar steps taken by authorities in Europe and other major economies. The Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) said it would investigate whether Google violated Japan's Antimonopoly Act, including by returning part of its revenues to Android smartphone makers on the condition that they not install rival search engines. The decision follows similar moves by antitrust regulators in the European Union, the United States and others.

The regulator is also examining whether Google services are prioritized on Android phones. The Japan Fair Trade Commission said it is examining whether Google made agreements with Android smartphone makers to share search ad-related revenue on the condition that the device manufacturer does not install a rival search engine. Japan's competition watchdog on Monday said it is investigating Alphabet -owned Google for alleged antitrust law violations in regards to its search practices on mobile platforms, ramping up regulatory pressure on the U.S. technology giant. In response, Google said Android is an "open-source platform that has enabled a diversity" in partners and device manufacturers. The EU said Google unfairly favored its own services by forcing smartphone makers to pre-install Google apps Chrome and Search in a bundle with its app store, Google Play.

The move marks a widening of scandal over the Tokyo 2020 Olympics that also saw Dentsu Inc offices raided earlier this year. The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and the Japan Fair Trade Commission declined to comment on the reports of suspected bid-rigging. Prosecutors have also searched the home of a Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee executive who was suspected of having handled the project orders for the test events, Kyodo news agency reported.
