A trial beginning on today (Monday) will hear the Department of Justice’s case that the search engine’s parent company Alphabet illegally operates a monopoly in the market, BBC reports.

In August a judge ruled its dominance of search was illegal, with the penalties Google and Alphabet will face as a result of that decision so far unclear.
