E.U. Opens Antitrust Investigation Into Google

The top European regulatory body - the European Commission - opened investigation into allegations that Google is abusing its dominance in the online search industry. There are also allegations that Google is giving preferential treatment to its other businesses in its search results.
The U.S. has also been looking into whether Google is anti-competitive but no allegations have been brought against them (from the U.S. government).
Google already has anti-trust inquiries from German, Italy, and France.
