		</div><p>A Russian court has fined Google for failing to store personal data on its Russian users, the latest in a series of penalties issued against the technology giant amid tensions between Russia and the West over the war in Ukraine.</p>
<p>A magistrate at Moscow’s Tagansky district court fined Google 15 million rubles (£133,000) on Tuesday after the company repeatedly refused to store personal data on Russian citizens in Russia.</p>
<p>Google was previously fined over the same charges in August 2021 and June 2022 under a Russian law that obliges foreign entities to localise the personal data of their Russian users.</p>
<p>The US tech giant was also ordered to pay a 3 million ruble (£26,600) fine in August for failing to delete allegedly false information about the conflict in Ukraine.</p>
<p>However, Russia can do little to collect the fine, because Google’s Russia business was effectively shut down last year after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine.</p>
<p>The company has said it filed for bankruptcy in Russia after its bank account was seized by the authorities, leaving it unable to pay staff and suppliers.</p>
<p>Russian courts have also fined Apple and the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia.</p>
<p>Since sending troops into Ukraine in February 2022, Russian authorities have taken a slew of measures to stifle any criticism of the military campaign.</p>
<p>Some critics have received severe punishments.</p>
<p>Opposition figure Vladimir Kara-Murza was sentenced this year to 25 years in prison for treason stemming from speeches he made against Russia’s actions in Ukraine.</p>
