The European Union Court of Justice on Thursday upheld Google's record €4.1 billion fine over alleged anticompetitive practices related to the company's Android operating system.
The European Commission hit the US tech giant with the penalty in 2018, alleging that the firm had abused its dominant market position, particularly by using pre-installation agreements with phone makers to give an unfair advantage to its search engine and Chrome browser.
An initial fine of €4.3 billion was imposed, but the EU's General Court reduced this to €4.1 billion in 2022.
