No. Probes are easy to launch; all strategically important companies, people, and even local authorities have a list of associated ”probes” either active & simmering (like Tesla) or pending with the probable cause for launching a probe in a database somewhere.
Usually, it will result in some sort of cost-of-doing-business fine or not be prioritized at all.
Then, occasionally, someone gets uppity and the simmering pot gets the gas turned up.
