Rekabet Kurumu, the Turkish competition authority, has slapped a US$15 million fine on Google for violating local competition laws, the regulator announced on its website on Thursday, September 20.
The investigation into Google’s violation of local competition laws was initiated in March 2017, when the regulator was tasked with finding out whether Google’s contracts with equipment producers (in addition to its mobile communications systems and for providing services) contravened local competition laws.
The competition authority stated Google, Google International, and Google Reklamcilik were given six months to make the necessary changes in order to “reinstill effective competition in the market and end the violation.”
