Google ordered to pay $1.5 billion to Klarna in Swedish antitrust case

A Swedish court has ordered Google to pay approximately $1.5 billion (€1.3 billion) to Klarna and its subsidiary PriceRunner in an antitrust damages case. The ruling stems from Google's abuse of its dominant market position in shopping search results, which harmed competitors. Klarna and PriceRunner had argued that Google's practices caused them significant financial losses over many years. The decision marks a major legal victory for the companies and highlights ongoing scrutiny of Google's business practices in Europe.
