Google Wins Appeal Against €1.49 Billion EU Antitrust Fine Over Errors in Assessment
Sep 18, 2024, 10:28 AM
Google has successfully overturned a €1.49 billion ($1.7 billion) antitrust fine imposed by the European Union in 2019. The EU's General Court annulled the fine, ruling that the European Commission had made errors in its assessment of Google's practices. The fine was originally levied for Google's alleged abuse of its dominant position in the online search advertising market, which was said to hinder competitors. This decision marks a significant legal victory for Google, which had been accused of preventing rivals from placing ads on third-party websites.
