Is Souq.com under investigation? The Consumer Protection Agency (CPA) has referred e-commerce platform Souq.com to the Prosecutor General’s Office, alleging it is distributing unlicensed meds and vitamins and acting as a pharmacy without a license, Al Mal reports. The investigation was prompted by a complaint from a Souq customer. Souq’s CEO denies the company is under investigation, saying the complaint was lodged against another company also called Souq that operates in the Middle East, but does not have the same logo as the e-commerce platform, Al Borsa reports.
