Google used two tactics to keep unfavorable information out of court, judges in anti-monopoly cases say.

Google says it takes seriously its “obligations to preserve and produce relevant documents” in legal actions.

Judge James Donato , in San Francisco federal court, said he will punish Google over destroyed evidence.

A Virginia federal court judge concluded that an “awful lot of evidence has likely been destroyed”.

A Virginia federal court lawsuit alleging Google holds an illegal monopoly on digital ads was filed as evidence.

A Virginia judge said he would use court-ordered sanctions to punish Google over deleted chats.

A November 5 filing by the federal government and states tied Google ’s tactics to its market dominance, claiming it trained workers “to abuse the attorney-client privilege and destroy documents”.
