LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - Google suffered a setback on Wednesday when Europe's second-highest court dismissed its challenge to an EU antitrust ruling and 2.42 billion euro ($2.8 billion) fine in a major win for EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager.

The shopping case was the first of a trio of EU decisions that has seen Alphabet unit Google rack up a total of 8.25 billion euros in EU antitrust fines.
