The European Commission is reportedly preparing one fine mammoth ($9 billion) for her Google A, for infringement EU antitrust rules, according to Reuters.
The Community Competition Observer has accused Google of 2015 in April of having spoiled internet search results to favor its own services at the expense of competing services. This case was detected by the end of 2010.
Some time ago, people were aware of the matter, they told Reuters that they believed that after three failed compromise efforts over the past six years, Google had no plans to resolve these allegations unless the committee changed its stance.
The search engine company is being investigated by the Commission from 2010 when it has received complaints from American and European competitors of Google.
If it is guilty of violating antitrust rules, it will face fines of up to 10% of its annual turnover, which in the case of Google may be over 6 billion.
The biggest anti-trust fine to date has been a fine of 1,1 billion Euro imposed on Intel 2009.
In addition to the fine, Reuters believes the Commission will try to stop Google from using its alleged practices, but it is unclear what measures the company could take to balance the competition for competitive Companies.
Google has agreed to pay the previous month a 306 tax of millions of euros in Italy and Ireland in an attempt to end a criminal investigation into whether the company has avoided paying taxes on its total income for more than a decade.
