JAKARTA, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Indonesia's antitrust agency

on Tuesday ordered Google to pay fines up to 202 billion rupiah

($12.37 million) for unfair business practices related to its

payment system services for Google Play Store, its software

distribution platform.

The agency launched an investigation into Alphabet Inc's ( GOOG )

Google in 2022 on suspicion it had abused its dominant

position by requiring Indonesian app developers to use Google

Pay Billing, at higher rates than other payment systems, or face

removal from the Google Play Store.

Google has previously said it had introduced a system where

developers could offer users an alternative billing option.
