Italy's Moltiply Group has initiated legal action against Alphabet's Google, seeking damages of 2.97 billion euros ($3.34 billion) for alleged abuse of market dominance. The lawsuit, filed in a Milan court, claims that Google's actions between 2010 and 2017 hindered the growth of Moltiply's subsidiary, 7Pixel, by favoring Google Shopping.

This legal move follows a 2017 ruling by the European Court of Justice, which found Google guilty of abusing its dominant position in the online shopping search sector. Moltiply's claim is based on the losses incurred by its price comparison website, Trovaprezzi.it, due to Google's practices.

In a separate case, Chile's Fiscalía Nacional Económica (FNE) has accused Google of abusing its dominant position in the digital markets. The FNE has requested the Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia (TDLC) to impose a fine of nearly $89 million on Google and to mandate changes in its practices that restrict competition in app distribution and in-app purchases within the Android ecosystem.
