Google's EU fines since 2017 now total $9.4 billion. The company is yet to respond to a request for comment.
Google has been punished with a third fine by the European Union in as many years.
The Alphabet-owned company was fined €1.49 billion ($1.69 billion) on Wednesday by European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager over anticompetitive practices related to its AdSense advertising service.
Vestager announced the fine in a tweet. She said Google was being punished for "illegal practices in search advertising brokering to cement its dominant market position." She added: "They shouldn't do that - it denied consumers choice, innovative products and fair prices."
Specifically, Vestager's team concluded that Google included "restrictive clauses in contracts" with third-party websites preventing rival search engines from placing adverts on these websites, according to a press release.
The penalty follows Google's record $5 billion fine in July last year for abusing the dominance of Android. The search giant was also fined $2.7 billion in September 2017 over its shopping service. Its fines since 2017 now total $9.4 billion.
