Google attacks Brussels antitrust case in 100-page response

Legal action by European commission over shopping price comparison service 'wrong as matter of fact, law and economics', says Google

Google has described the European commission's antitrust case against its search engine business as "wrong as a matter of fact, law and economics" in a lengthy counter submitted to the regulator.

The commission's competition policy chief, Margrethe Vestager, launched a full-scale legal attack on Google in April, accusing the company of abusing its market dominance by systematically favouring its shopping price comparison service.
