SAN FRANCISCO: Yelp Inc said on May 22 it has renewed a European antitrust complaint against Alphabet Inc's Google, seeking to gain traction on a longstanding accusation that the search giant unfairly promotes its own services in results.

A similar complaint Yelp filed in 2014 has not led the European Union to issue a formal charge against Google, nor have letters and testimony to US regulators led to charges.
