As a result, Milan's State Attorney's Office, which was probing Google's European unit on tax evasion charges, has asked to shelve the case, Viola said in a note.
Prosecutors alleged that Google did not file and pay taxes on revenue generated in Italy. The company in 2017 paid €306m to settle a separate case that found it had a permanent presence in the country.
