Google was fined 500,000 roubles ($7,530) on Tuesday for failing to comply with Russian's requirement to remove certain entries from the search engine results, Russia’s communications watchdog was quoted as saying by TASS news agency.

Last month, Russia opened a civil case against Google as it had not joined a state registry that lists banned websites that Moscow believes contain illegal information and was therefore not compliant with the law.

Alexander Zharov, head of watchdog Roscomnadzor, said Russia could open a new case against Google if it did not fall in line with the law, TASS reported.

Google did not provide any comment.
