Turkish regulator launches Shell unit probe over fuel supply

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's energy market regulator (EPDK) said on Wednesday it had launched an investigation into Shell Petrol A.S. after it was found to have provided no fuel, or limited amounts, to petrol stations despite there being no supply problems.

"The Energy Market Regulatory Authority will not hesitate to take the necessary steps regarding this type of move which disrupts market activities," the regulator said, adding the issue came to light thanks to complaints.
