The press release doesn't mention it, but the actual court document asks the court to:
"Order the divestiture of, at minimum, the Google Ad Manager suite, including both Google’s publisher ad server, DFP, and Google’s ad exchange, AdX, along with any additional structural relief as needed to cure any anticompetitive harm"

However, asking for a structural remedy like divestiture after so much time is going to be a tall order, to say the least. Generally courts don’t like to meddle directly in the way firms are run (correctly, in my view).
