Tech giant Apple has challenged an anti-trust action taken by the
Russian market regulator, initiating legal action against the Federal
Antimonopoly Service (FAS).
Apple seeks a judicial review of the regulator's warning, according to a report in Russia Today.
The warning was issued with a deadline of September 30 for the iPhone maker to change its anti-steering policies.
"Apple
is seeking a judicial review of a warning, which is forcing the iPhone
maker to allow app developers to tell customers about alternative
payment options when using its App Store platform," the report said on
Sunday.
The Russian regulator had warned that the Cupertino-based
multinational could face a fine that would be calculated based on its
revenue in Russia.
In October, the country's anti-trust watchdog launched proceedings against Apple "for non-compliance with the request".
In
April, the FAS fined Apple $12 million (906 million rubles) for
violating competition principles, as the company had placed restrictions
upon Kaspersky Safe Kids, a parental control app.
The US firm had filed a lawsuit to fight against the penalty.
Apple
had said: "We worked with Kaspersky to get their app in compliance with
rules that were put in place to protect children. They now have 13 apps
on the App Store and we have processed hundreds of updates for them."
