The rest of this very first of the article is:

> finding after a year-long investigation that the tech giant wrongfully wielded its digital dominance to the detriment of corporate rivals and consumers.

The rest of the article has details too.

I agree that it's good to ask questions about anonymously sourced material though, and to hold it in a state of suspicion, and to suspect that it's not the full story.

Since this is a leak of something the DOJ will announce, the point of leaking it could be to spin it in a way that is less favorable to the DOJ.

> the tech giant wrongfully wielded its digital dominance

If google is going to be charged with violating a statute, the article should identify which statutue/s and quote from the charge sheet so that we understand what the court matter is about.

Just describing alleged behaviour as "wrongfully wielded its digital dominance" is not informative news - it is an attempt to influence opinion.
