Google Inc. is being probed by Belgian prosecutors over possible privacy breaches concerning wireless Internet data collected by its Street View service.

The country’s federal prosecutors “have opened a file” and will investigate whether Google broke rules when it collected private data, Eric Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the authority, said in a phone interview. De Morgen reported the probe earlier today.
