Google has emerged victorious in a court battle against a 1.49 billion euro antitrust fine imposed by the European Union five years ago. The European Union's General Court ruled in favor of Google on Wednesday, overturning the penalty that was imposed by the European Commission in 2019.
The General Court's decision to annul the Commission's fine was announced in a press release, stating that the penalty was being thrown out in its entirety. The fine had targeted Google's online advertising business, specifically focusing on ads displayed alongside Google search results on third-party websites.
