LONDON — Amazon has been issued with a $888 million fine by the European Union for breaching the bloc’s data protection laws.

The fine, disclosed by Amazon on Friday in a securities filing, was issued two weeks ago by Luxembourg’s privacy regulator.

It was accompanied by an order to revise certain undisclosed business practices.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
