"Yandex" did not give the private correspondence of the user at the request of customs of the Russian Federation
Yandex was able to keep the user's correspondence with Yandex.Mail, despite the requirement of state bodies. The Internet company refused the request of the Federal Customs Service (FCS) to issue personal correspondence of one user in the framework of operational investigative activities, and then defended its case in a higher court.
As it became known to the newspaper Kommersant, the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow on March 22 canceled the administrative violation protocol against Yandex under art. 19.7 of the Administrative Code (non-submission of information to the state body). The court annulled a fine of 3,000 rubles, which was imposed on Yandex.
A spokesman for Yandex, Asya Melkumova, explained that after the initial refusal to issue the user's correspondence, the magistrate of the judicial area No. 425 of Moscow issued a resolution on bringing Yandex to administrative responsibility: “This is the first time that Yandex has tried to bring to justice failure, ”she said.
The company did not pay the fine, but challenged the decision in the Khamovnichesky District Court of Moscow, which overturned the decision of the lower court.
