A Swedish court on Wednesday ordered Alphabet's Google to pay about $1.5 billion in antitrust damages to PriceRunner, the price comparison business owned by payments platform Klarna.
The award, equivalent to around 14.3 billion Swedish crowns, comes amid growing scrutiny of U.S. Big Tech companies in Europe. It is the largest award by a Swedish court in a competition case, though well below the 78 billion crowns PriceRunner had sought, including accrued interest.
