"According to the decision of the Tagansky District Court in Moscow, Google was found guilty of administrative violation under Clause 2 of Article 13.41 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation and imposed a penalty on the company in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of 3.8 million rubles," the court spokesman said, according to TASS news agency.

Previously, the same court fined Google for multiple administrative violations because YouTube videos promoted deviant lifestyles and discredited the Russian military.

According to the new ruling, Google's administrative debt to Russia has increased to 2,000 billion rubles and is growing every day due to late payment of fines.

The company's return to the Russian market is only possible if the court ruling is enforced./.
