| FOX UK London Headquarters Raided by European Union Commission Investigators |
| 2018-04-11 |
| [Breitbart London] Investigators from the European Union Commission have raided the offices of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox UK offices and have seized computers and other documents. The exact nature of the investigation is currently unknown, as is the reason behind the raid, which took place on Tuesday evening in the Hammersmith offices of 21st Century Fox the Telegraph reports. According to sources within the building who spoke to the Telegraph, the EU Commission investigators told employees working in the office to not talk about the raid and that the investigators will likely continue to gather more evidence and information over the next day or two. While no official announcement of the investigation has been made, some have speculated that the incident may tie into the recent attempt of Murdoch and Fox to acquire Sky News in the UK. The EU investigators have the ability to conduct raids if they believe that a corporation may be engaged in price fixing or abusing their dominant position within the market. |

| #5 Sounds like the Brits have a long, long way to go with that BREXIT thing. Allowing foreign agents to raid the offices of a British citizen on British soil doesn't sound very British at all. |

| #4 I see it coming Alan. Governments are more paranoid they are losing their grip on the people, the people getting more angry about the invaders and their government shitting on them, lurch to the more nationalist and strong type governments. Some form of fascism is coming again for some of Europe's countries. |

| #3 Any one else see the rebirth of fascism? That is, after all, the default government system for Europe as well as the preference of the progressives and Dems here. There's a reason the left always to be more like Europe. |

| #2 Puzzling though, no mention of Russians. Maybe they suspect Rupert of something even worse - a collision with Israel. |

| #1 The EU investigators have the ability to conduct raids if they believe that a corporation may be engaged in price fixing or abusing their dominant position within the market. Or for no reason at all, just like here in the States. Puzzling though, no mention of Russians. |
