By Mauro Orru

Alphabet's Google agreed to resolve a long-running tax dispute in Italy, removing a cloud over its operations in the country.

A Google spokesperson said the company reached a settlement with Italian authorities that puts an end to a tax dispute for the period between 2015 and 2019 without litigation. The spokesperson declined to elaborate on the settlement.

Italian media reported that Google agreed to pay 326 million euros ($340.5 million) to settle, with Milan prosecutors moving to drop a probe into alleged tax evasion between 2015 and 2019.

Milan prosecutors didn't respond to requests for comment.
