BRUSSELS, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google

is set to be hit with an EU antitrust fine over its adtech

practices later on Friday, three sources with direct knowledge

of the matter said.

The European Commission had originally planned to hand out

the modest fine on Monday but opposition from EU trade chief

Maros Sefcovic over U.S. tariffs on European cars derailed EU

antitrust chief Teresa Ribera's plan, other people told Reuters

earlier this week.

The Capitol Forum was the first to report that the EU adtech

fine would be issued on Friday.
