Google Lost Its Appeal Against a €4.1 Billion Antitrust Fine in Europe

Alphabet, Google's parent company, lost its appeal in Europe against a ruling to fine it €4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) for abusing its dominant market position with Android, according to Bloomberg.

On July 2, the European Court of Justice, the European Union’s highest court, dismissed the complaint filed by the American company. The court ruled that the European Commission’s decision to fine Google was lawful. This ruling is legally binding and marks a significant victory for the European regulator, which has been engaged in a legal battle with Google since 2018, Bloomberg notes.
