Update: Alphabet's Google Reportedly Calls on Justice Department to Keep Company Intact
Mar 5, 2025 6:53 AM

09:34 AM EST, 03/05/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates to include Google's ( GOOG ) statement in fourth and fifth paragraphs.)

Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) has called on the US Department of Justice to keep the company intact as officials consider breaking up the search engine giant to resolve two anti-monopoly cases, media outlets reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

According to the reports, the ongoing cases are related to Google's ( GOOG ) leading position in online search and advertising technology. Potential anti-monopoly remedies include divestments of certain parts of Google's ( GOOG ) business, media outlets said.

A trial over the appropriate remedies is set for April and a final ruling is expected in August, Reuters reported.

Google ( GOOG ) told MT Newswires it regularly meets with regulators to discuss the case.

"As we've publicly said, we're concerned the current proposals would harm the American economy and national security," a Google ( GOOG ) spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

The US Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
