The TASS news agency said it was the first time Apple had been fined for that offence. The company paused all product sales in Russia shortly after Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, and limited its Apple Pay service in Russia. Moscow has clashed with Big Tech for years over content, censorship, data and local representation in disputes that escalated after Russia sent its armed forces into Ukraine.

  + stars: | 2022-10-12 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Prices for most goods and services rose sharply soon after Russia sent thousands of troops into Ukraine in February, sparking hefty Western sanctions. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) said MTS would have to lower prices to economically justified levels and pay a fine, the size of which would be determined after an investigation. "The adjustment of tariffs took into account the growth in costs of servicing telecoms infrastructure, which exceeds the growth of telecoms service revenues," MTS said in a statement. "In August, September and October 2022, MTS again raised the cost for these tariff plans," the FAS said. The FAS said MTS had not provided enough evidence of its costs.
