BRUSSELS, June 19 (Reuters) - An adviser to Europe's
highest court on Thursday sided with EU antitrust regulators in
Alphabet unit Google's fight against a record
4.3-billion-euro ($4.93 billion) fine levied on the U.S. tech
giant by EU antitrust regulators seven years ago.
"Advocate General Kokott proposes that the Court of Justice
dismiss Google's appeal and, therefore, that it confirm the new
fine of 4.124 billion euros set by the General Court," the
Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union said.
Judges, who usually follow four out of five such non-binding
opinions, will rule in the coming months.
The case is C-738/22 P Google and Alphabet v Commission.
