The European Union is planning to fine Alphabet's Google a high triple-digit million euro amount for antitrust violations, Handelsblatt reported, citing commission sources.
The decision is nearing completion and is expected before the summer break. The fine would be the highest ever imposed for a breach of the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The investigation, launched in March 2025, focuses on Google favoring its own services in search results. The Commission seeks to ensure compliance with local regulations.
Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said in an email: "We are more interested in future compliance solutions than simply issuing a fine." He added: "We will not hesitate to move to the next steps as soon as possible."
Google was not immediately available for comment. Earlier this month, the Commission gave Google more time to address concerns after a previous proposal fell short.
