The court has decided to review the case behind closed doors

MOSCOW, November 1. /TASS/. The Moscow Arbitration Court adjourned the case of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) fine for Google for December 8, Head of FAS Department for Regulation of Communications and Information Technologies Elena Zaeva told reporters on Tuesday.

"The court adjourned the case until December 8," she said, answering the question from TASS.

Additionally, the Court has decided to review the case behind closed doors. Thus, the court rejected the application of the Russian company Yandex to be involved in the case as a third party.

FAS might impose other penalties on Google - for failure to comply with the requirements in full and on time. On November 2, FAS will review the issue and might fine the two structures - Google Inc. and Google Ireland Ltd. - for 300,000 - 500,000 rubles ($4,748 - $7,914). Subsequently, the American corporation will also be able to challenge these fines in court.
