Alphabet is expected to face a European Union fine worth hundreds of millions of euros over alleged Digital Markets Act violations tied to Google Search, according to Reuters citing Handelsblatt. The case, opened in March 2025, examines whether Google gave preferential placement to its own services in search results instead of treating rivals equally. A decision is expected before the summer recess. This would be among the most significant enforcement actions so far under the Digital Markets Act, adding to the European Union’s long-running competition scrutiny of Google.
