MOSCOW, Apr 27 (PRIME) -- Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service has imposed a turnover-based fine of 906.299 million rubles, or more than U.S. $12 million, on Apple for violation of the antimonopoly law, the watchdog said on Tuesday in a statement.
The antitrust service completed consideration of a case against Google in August 2020 after a complaint by antivirus maker Kaspersky. It was uncovered that Apple abused its dominating position on the iOS applications market by obstructing developers of parental control applications and vague rules of admission of applications to App Store.
The regulator warned Apple it should not grant preferential conditions for applications of its own make in comparison to other firms’ apps. The warning was suspended because of it was challenged at court.
