The US Justice Department is scrutinising Google’s digital advertising and search operations as authorities gear up a broad antitrust review of the market power of giant internet companies, according to people familiar with the matter.

Advertisers and ad-tech companies have also met with the officials, and more meetings are on the calendar, one of the people said.
