YahooMay 25, 2026
The European Union is planning to fine Alphabet's Google a high triple-digit million euro amount as part of an antitrust investigation, Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Monday, citing commission sources. The investigation, which was officially launched in March 2025, relates to concerns that Google favours its own services in search results and seeks to ensure the world's most popular internet search engine complies with local regulation. Google has criticised the impact of the EU's rules on its search product and said it is keen to resolve the case.
