Apple loses fight against €13 billion EU tax order in favor of Ireland By Reuters

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Europe’s top court on Tuesday upheld a 2.42 billion euro EU antitrust fine imposed on Alphabet’s Google (NASDAQ: ) seven years ago for using its own comparison shopping service to gain an unfair advantage over smaller European rivals.

The fine is one of three sanctions imposed by the European Commission on Google over the past decade for various antitrust violations that have cost the company a total of €8.25 billion over the past decade.
