It's in French, but Google will pay 410000 € to several holiday planners for displaying ads for a competitor on a search query including their names.
The point accepted was that the distinction between results and ads is not clear enough.
The ads have been removed, but there were 10000€/day penalties had they not been.

Sounds like paid inclusion:
