Antitrust, Search Warrants And Data

By David Fischer

While researching an article regarding the search and seizure of computer hardware and electronic data in criminal antitrust investigations, I noticed a distinct lack of case law.  There is a lot of case law regarding the search and seizure of computer hardware and electronic data in other types of criminal cases.  But I did not find any significant cases involving antitrust investigations.  Putting aside for the moment any speculation as to the reasons for this (whether due to my poor legal research skills or the “low” number of criminal antitrust investigations in the last 10 years), if you are feeling generous and are aware of any such cases, feel free to mention them in the comments or email them to us.
