- A Dutch regulatory agency said on Thursday it was carrying out raids on the Amsterdam offices of ride-hailing service Uber in connection with its UberPOP service.

In December, a Dutch court became the latest in Europe to deem the UberPOP service illegal and ordered Uber to stop offering it under threat of a 100,000 euro ($110,000) fine.


Transport Inspectorate spokeswoman Elif Bagci said the raids follow signs that the company continued to offer the UberPOP service.
