Alphabet's Google Facing Potential Legal Challenge as EU Court Adviser Recommends Revisiting Antirust Case

06:14 AM EST, 11/12/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google is facing a potential legal challenge in Europe after an EU court adviser recommended scrapping an earlier decision to annul a fine of nearly 1.50 billion euros ($1.66 billion) against the company and for the General Court to revisit the antitrust case for a new judgment, according to a Thursday statement. Advocate General Juliane Kokott said the General Court "erred" in its 2024 decision, finding that the European Commission failed to prove EU competition law violations related to Google's AdSense platform. Alphabet did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
