For the analysis of the information received during the search in the Parisian office of Google, years can take

To study the data received by French investigators during the search in the Paris office of Google, they may take years, Yahoo News reports with reference to the statement of the financial prosecutor Elian Hound.

“We have received a large amount of data. We must analyze it. This may take months, if not several years,” the loudspeak said, noting that the investigators are limited in resources.

Recall that a search in the office of an American company related to the investigation of the case of tax failure was held on Tuesday, May 24. At the same time, the investigative measures were classified: the financial prosecutor's office of France did not notify the searches.

In February of this year, it became known that the French authorities presented tax claims for Google in the amount of 1.76 billion dollars. According to Reuters, the American corporation was accused of aggressive tax optimization.

It is worth noting that on May 23, France began another investigation against Google regarding online advertising. The antimonopoly department will check whether the company occupies the dominant position in this market. Paris began a similar investigation against Facebook.

In April of this year, European antimonopoly regulators accused Google of abusing the advantages of the dominant position in the operating systems for smartphones and violation of competition. Then it was reported that the company can be fined $ 7.4 billion.

On March 25, the French authorities fined Google 100 thousand euros for violations of the European Law on the “right to forget”. Such a decision was made by the French National Commission on information and freedom: the fine was assigned for the fact that data on people whose applications were properly approved by the commission were not completely deleted from the search results of Google.
