German regulators are investigating whether Google is acting anti-competitively in the online marketplace and how it handles user data, increasing pressure on the search giant already facing similar U.S. investigations.

Bundeskartellamt, the German competition authority, announced Tuesday it is investigating Google’s operations in California, Ireland, and within its own borders under a new provision in German antitrust law that can stop large digital companies from engaging in monopolistic behavior in markets where they are not yet in a commanding position.
