Google search engine rival from Russia Yandex has brought the fight to Europe as it asked the European Commission to conduct an investigation against the competitor regarding the Android operating system.

Google was found to be guilty of breaking Russian law after the investigation. The nation’s antitrust agency found out that their preloading of apps on Android handsets were unfair.
