MOSCOW, October 7. /TASS/. A magistrate court in Moscow’s Tagansky District fined Zoom around 66 mln rubles ($772,110) for failing to comply with obligations established by Russian law governing the activities of foreign entities on the Internet, the Moscow City Court’s press service told TASS.
"By a ruling of a magistrate judge of Moscow’s Tagansky Judicial District dated October 7, 2026, [company] Zoom Communications, Inc. was found guilty of an administrative offense under Part 3 of Article 13.49 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offenses and was ordered to pay an administrative fine of 65,936,494 rubles," the press service said.
