The investigation in Turkey is the latest legal problem for Google, which faces three separate competition charges in Europe and has already been found to breach antitrust legislation in Russia. United States officials have also investigated the company over its Android and search services, but they have not brought a case. Google denies that it has broken any laws, saying that its digital services like search and online maps do not hinder those of rivals. This is not the first time that Google has faced setbacks in Turkey. The commission also found that Google had given the companies unfair financial incentives to favor its services on their mobile devices.
