[1/2] The logo for Google LLC is seen at the Google Store Chelsea in Manhattan, New York City, U.S., November 17, 2021.
The complaint filed Tuesday in a Virginia federal court by the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division attempts to compel Google to sell part of its advertising technology unit.
The suit mirrors allegations in another antitrust case brought against Google in New York federal court by a Texas-led coalition of 17 states in 2020.
In the states' case, a New York federal judge in September rejected Google’s bid to dismiss it entirely.
Google also faces two largely parallel antitrust lawsuits by states and the federal government alleging unlawful dominance in online searching.
