A court in Murcia, Spain, has ordered Google to testify in a criminal case concerning IPTV app, NewPlay. Football league LaLiga, whose matches were allegedly offered illegally through the app, previously called for the directors of Google, Apple, and Huawei to face criminal charges. LaLiga criticized the companies for failing to disable copies of NewPlay already installed on users' devices. Google and Huawei must now testify as 'profit-making participants' in an alleged piracy scheme.

... but they did, remove it from the Play Store.

Yeah, no, that's not even a capability that Google has. Android is not built in a way that would allow them to do this, nor is there any rational reason they should alter it to do so.
