The DOJ is expected to announce on Thursday a new enforcement initiative to identify companies exploiting supply chain disruptions to raise prices and make increased profits in violation of federal antitrust laws, the AP reports. Spearheaded by the DOJ’s antitrust division and the FBI, the program comes amid ongoing supply chain and labor struggles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Temporary supply chain disruptions should not be allowed to conceal illegal conduct,” said Antitrust Division head Assistant AG Jon Kanter. “The Antitrust Division will not allow companies to collude in order to overcharge consumers under the guise of supply chain disruptions.”
