Google has lost its final legal challenge against one of the largest antitrust penalties ever imposed by the European Union, cementing a landmark victory for European regulators after an eight-year legal battle.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the bloc's highest court, dismissed Google's appeal and upheld a €4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) fine over the company's Android business practices. The issue began after the European Commission accused Google of illegally using the dominance of its Android mobile operating system to suppress competition.
