Europe’s antitrust watchdog has handed Google a €1.49bn (£1.28bn) fine for exploiting its market position to illegally undermine its rivals.

Speaking in Brussels on Tuesday, the EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager (pictured) said Google had imposed anti-competitive contractual restrictions on third party websites for more than a decade.
