Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google has called on the US Department of Justice to keep the company intact as officials consider breaking up the search engine giant to resolve two anti-monopoly cases, media outlets reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
According to the reports, the ongoing cases are related to Google's leading position in online search and advertising technology. Potential anti-monopoly remedies include divestments of certain parts of Google's business, media outlets said.
A trial over the appropriate remedies is set for April and a final ruling is expected in August, Reuters reported.
Google and the US Department of Justice did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comments.
