MADRID—Spanish tax inspectors raided the offices of Google in
Madrid, in a probe of suspected tax evasion, people familiar with
the investigation said.
Inspectors swept into the company's headquarters in an office
tower, as well as a campus it maintains here, the Madrid daily El
Pais reported.
"We comply with the tax law in Spain, as in every other country
in which we operate," Google said. "We are cooperating fully with
the authorities in Madrid to answer their questions, as
always."
The investigation in Spain follows a raid in May on Google's
Paris headquarters by French tax authorities. That escalated a tax
dispute in which French authorities have sought more than €1
billion ($1.12 billion) from the search firm.
