Russian court turns down Google appeal in anti-monopoly
case
March 14, 2016
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Moscow Arbitration court on Monday
rejected an appeal from Google and upheld a ruling that the U.S. firm broke
anti-monopoly laws by abusing its dominant position with its Android mobile
platform, Russia's competition watchdog said.
FAS, the watchdog, ruled last September that Google had
broken the law by requiring pre-installation of certain applications on mobile
devices running on Android, following a complaint by Russia's Yandex.
Google filed an appeal, but FAS said on Monday the court
had fully supported its decision.
The company now has to amend its contracts with
smartphone manufacturers in order to comply with the ruling, and pay a fine.
