Google has won a court challenge against a 1.49 billion euro European Union antitrust fine imposed five years ago that targeted its online advertising business.

The EU court upheld Qualcomms antitrust fine, reducing it slightly to EUR 238.7 million, after rejecting most of the companys appeal arguments.

The European Union’s second highest court today ruled on two antitrust fines that the bloc issued to Google LLC and Qualcomm Inc. in 2019. The General Court annulled the penalty imposed on Google, which was the largest of the two at €1.49 billion. It mostly upheld Qualcomm’s €242 million fine, reducing it by about 1%.
