Google's Paris headquarters have been raided as part of an ongoing tax probe.
Around 100 tax officials and investigators from financial police are involved in the raid, which started at 5 a.m. local time, according to Le Parisien.
The probe wants to verify if Google Ireland "is permanently established in France and whether by not declaring a part of his activities carried out in the French territory, it has lacked its tax obligation" under French law.
Google is accused of owing France €1.6 billion ($1.8 billion; £1.3 billion) in unpaid taxes.
