Fine Levied Against Google by the EU was $2,700,000 for Unfair Search Pracitices

The fine levied against Google by the European Union walloped parent company Alphabet's second-quarter profit, which dropped 28%, even as the Internet giant continued to post impressive gains in its lucrative advertising business.

Net income fell to $3.52 billion, or $5.01 a share, from $4.88 billion, or $7 a share, in the year ago quarter.  Excluding certain items such as the EU fine, earnings were $8.90 a share.
