MOSCOW--A Russian appeals court has rejected Alphabet Inc.'s
Google's (GOOG) appeal in an antimonopoly case, a spokesman for the
Russian antitrust watchdog said Wednesday.
Google has been entangled in an antitrust dispute with the
Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service over its practices of bundling
apps for its Android platform.
Last week, the watchdog fined Google 438 million rubles ($6.8
million) for abusing its dominant position of its Android
mobile-phone operating system.
Earlier this week, the antitrust regulator said FAS and Google
have failed to settle the dispute out of court.
The court's decision isn't the final step for Google in
disputing the charges, the FAS spokesman told the Wall Street
Journal over the phone. Google may still file a cassation appeal,
he said.
A Google Russia spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a
request for comment.
