The European Union's top court is set to rule on Thursday on Google's appeal against a record €4.125 billion ($4.67 billion) antitrust fine over alleged anti-competitive practices.

The European Commission imposed a €4.3 billion penalty in 2018, accusing Google of abusing its Android system's market dominance by requiring phone makers to pre-install Google Search and Chrome.

The EU's executive branch accused the tech giant of restricting competition while imposing the bloc's highest antitrust fine ever.

The EU's General Court upheld the findings in 2022, but reduced the fine from €4.34 billion to €4.125 billion.Can the EU control US tech giants?To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video
