Google threatened with further antitrust lawsuits

The General Court of the European Union (EGC) has handed EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager a major success and at the same time opened the door for further antitrust claims against Google. The Luxembourg judges dismissed an appeal by the US company against the decision in the Google Shopping case. The Commission had imposed a fine of €2.4 billion in 2017 because the company had disadvantaged competing price comparison portals.
