Undisclosed quid pro quo between a product producer and a reviewer tofraudulently inflate a score is criminal so no, he accused them of that. 

Where does it says that is illegal?

It is illegal to opperate as a supposedly impartial party reviewing or covering a product when you are in fact compensated in some manner for giving it a positive review or promotion and keeping said compensation undisclosed.  That is against the law in most territories.  Here in the States it is classified as a violation of FTC disclosure guidelines.
