Google has succeeded in overturning a $1.7 billion antitrust penalty handed down by the European Union back in March 2019.

The European Union’s second-highest court annulled a $1.7 billion fine imposed on Google, siding with the tech giant in its appeal. The case stems from a 2019 ruling by the European Commission, which accused Google of abusing its market dominance through restrictive contracts related to its AdSense for Search product.

The General Court of the European Union declares the Commission's decision to fine Google almost 1.5 billion euros invalid.
