Russian court fines Google over $140,000.

(CLO) A court in Moscow has ruled that Google must pay more than 11 million rubles (approximately $140,000) for failing to remove information prohibited from distribution in Russia.

At the Tagansky District Court in Moscow, the judge concluded that Google violated three provisions under Article 13.41 of the Russian Federation's Administrative Code, relating to the failure to comply with regulations restricting access to information and resources prohibited by Russian law. The total fine imposed by the court was 11.4 million rubles. Google's representatives were not present at the hearing.

Earlier, Russian media reported that a judge at a Moscow court had also ruled that Google must pay more than 16 billion rubles for failing to pay previous administrative fines.

Since 2020, Russian courts have repeatedly fined Google on charges such as failing to remove banned content, failing to comply with requirements to store user data within Russian territory, and other administrative violations. The company has also been fined for blocking YouTube accounts of several Russian television channels.
