Russian antitrust to disclose amount of fine for Google Apr 11

ST. PETERSBURG, Apr 7 (PRIME) -- Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service will announce on April 11 an amount of the fine for Google, which was found guilty of abusing its dominant position on the market of pre-installed application stores, the authority’s Director Igor Artemyev said Thursday.

“I think we will announce it on Monday (April 11),” Artemyev said.

The Moscow Arbitration Court earlier upheld the antimonopoly service’s conclusion that Google had violated the competition law by obliging producers to install other services along with Google Play, its application store.

The antimonopoly service said in late March that it had received all necessary information from Google on its work on the Russian market in 2014.
