Russian liquidators of Alphabet Inc.’s Google subsidiary have filed an application seeking to seize the company’s assets in France. The move is part of an effort to recover funds related to a dispute involving the Russian operations of Google.
According to a lawyer representing Google Russia’s liquidators, the action is aimed at recovering a sum of €110 million (approximately $128 million). This amount is linked to a dividend paid by the company, which is now under liquidation proceedings in Russia.
The legal action underscores ongoing international disputes involving Google’s Russian subsidiary, as authorities seek to recover alleged unpaid obligations. The case highlights the complexities of cross-border corporate liquidation and asset recovery processes.
Details about the specific grounds for the seizure and the broader context of Google’s operations in Russia remain limited. The legal proceedings are expected to unfold in the coming months as disputes over the financial claims continue to develop.
