MOSCOW (Reuters) – Alphabet’s Google was fined 21.8 billion roubles ($387 million) by a Russian court for a repeated failure to remove content that Moscow deems illegal, the Interfax news agency reported on Monday.
It was the second fine based on a percentage of Google’s turnover in Russia after a penalty worth more than more than 7 billion roubles late last year.
Google did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. ($1 = 56.2500 roubles)
