European Union (EU) anti-trust regulators yesterday hit Alphabet unit Google with a record 2.42-billion-euro ($2.7 billion - Sh278 billion) fine for breaching anti-trust rules after a seven-year investigation.
It is the biggest fine the EU has ever imposed on a single company in an anti-trust case, exceeding a 1.06-billion-euro sanction handed down to US chipmaker Intel in 2009.
