On February 19, 2025, Milan's prosecutors announced they had requested to drop a case against Google Ireland Ltd after the company agreed to pay 326 million euros, equivalent to approximately $340 million, to settle a tax claim.
This agreement resolves a significant tax dispute with Italian authorities, removing a financial and legal overhang for Alphabet. The settlement provides clarity regarding Google's tax obligations in the region.
The payment of 326 million euros represents a material financial outlay for Google. However, resolving the case avoids prolonged litigation and potential further penalties, allowing the company to focus on its operations in Italy.
