Italian communications watchdog Agcom said Thursday that it has fined Alphabet Inc.'s Google Ireland Ltd. for breaching a law banning adverts of online gambling and gaming.

The watchdog said that Google Ireland --which oversees Google Ads-- facilitated the placement of ads with links redirecting to sites that offer online gambling.

According to Agcom, Google's ad placement service doesn't qualify as web hosting but rather as a vehicle for information, and therefore can be sanctioned.

The authority didn't specify the value of the fine.
