# Google was ordered by a German court to pay €570 million, involving allegations of monopoly and suppression of price comparison websites

Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet (GOOG.US), has once again faced judicial action in Europe. The Berlin District Court in Germany recently ruled that Google must pay a total of €573 million in compensation to two German comparison platforms, citing the company's abuse of its dominant position in the search market by favoring its own shopping services through its search engine, in violation of competition law.

Among them, Idealo, a comparison platform owned by Axel Springer, was ordered to receive €370 million in compensation and €91 million in interest, but the company emphasized that it will appeal for a higher compensation and stated that the abuse of market position must come at a corresponding cost. Another comparison platform, Producto GmbH, was awarded €89.7 million in compensation and €17.7 million in interest.

Google responded by stating that the court dismissed most of the excessive claims, but the company does not agree with the overall ruling and will appeal
