Yandex said on Wednesday it had asked the
competition watchdog to investigate whether Google was abusing
the dominance of its Android mobile operating system.
The case mirrors a probe in Europe centered on whether Google
takes unfair advantage of the 80 percent global market share of
its Android platform to promote services.
"The latest case we have opened literally today is against
Google," Interfax quoted Igor Artemyev, head of the competition
watchdog, as telling members of Russia's State Duma lower house
of parliament.
FAS could not immediately confirm the start of proceedings, its
spokeswoman said.
The press service for Google's office in Russia declined
immediate comment.
