Russia seized over $100 million from Google, redirecting funds to state-owned channels like RT to support its war in Ukraine, illustrating drastic measures taken against foreign firms.
Google's legal troubles arose after Russian courts imposed huge fines and penalties for adhering to international sanctions, demonstrating how governments can exploit legal systems against foreign companies.
During a court filing, Google stated their assets were disproportionately seized by Russian authorities, noting that the seized amount far exceeded what was legally owed at the time.
Tsargrad disclosed that it would allocate one billion rubles from the confiscated funds to bolster Russia's military efforts in Ukraine, showcasing the state's use of corporate assets for war.
