Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service Takes Action Against Yandex

Russia’s Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) said it had initiated proceedings against internet giant Yandex over alleged competition law violations on the company’s search engine. The state agency told Yandex in February it had created unequal market conditions for general online search services, that it was preferentially promoting its own products and asked it to stop.
