MOSCOW, April 26 (RAPSI) – The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has terminated administrative proceedings against Google over corporation’s refusal to comply with the antimonopoly watchdog’s ruling, the Service states on Wednesday.

This cancellation is related to an amicable agreement achieved on April 17 in a dispute between FAS and Google.

According to the deputy head of FAS Alexey Dotsenko, a federal court has approved the settlement and a two-year-long court battle between the watchdog and Google has finally come to an end.

Google is to pay all fines imposed by FAS. Those include 438 million rubles (about $6.7 million) fine for violating administrative legislation and 1 million rubles (about $17,900) in fines for refusal to comply with the watchdog’s ruling. Payments are to be made within two months.

The agreement was concluded for 6 years and 9 months.

In September 2015, the watchdog held that Google Ireland Ltd. and Google Inc. abused their dominance on the Russian market of mobile applications by preinstalling applications on Android smartphones and therefore violated anti-monopoly law. Google was fined 438 million rubles (about $6.7 million). Google refused to comply and challenged this ruling in Russian courts. In time, FAS imposed additional fines against Google, amounting to nearly 1 million rubles in total.
