BRUSSELS, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Google suffered a setback on Thursday as an adviser to Europe's top court faulted a lower tribunal's decision to scrap a €1.49 billion ($1.7 billion) fine levied against the U.S. tech giant 7 years ago for anti-competitive practices related to online advertising.
The General Court rejected in 2024 the EU decision, prompting the Commission to appeal to the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union.
