Google faces $129 million French asset freeze after Russian ruling
PARIS/MOSCOW: The administrator of Google’s defunct Russian business has obtained a temporary freeze on some 110 million euros ($129 million) of the Alphabet-owned company’s assets in France, official orders seen by Reuters show.
The move represents a rare attempt by Russian authorities to use legal channels to target assets of western companies overseas, amid rising tensions over the potential use of seized Russian assets in Europe.
