The chief executive of Nasdaq-listed internet company Yandex faces prosecution in a Russian court for alleged offences under the country’s so-called “LGBT propaganda” law, a notice on the court's website said on Wednesday.
The move to prosecute Artem Savinovsky, for which no hearing date was listed, comes a day after a court levied a 1 million rubles fine against an online film database called Kinopoisk, owned by Yandex, under the same law.
Savinovsky's case is an administrative one rather than criminal, meaning it relates to violations of laws that do not cause significant harm or public danger. Yandex said it would appeal any court finding against its CEO. The fine against Yandex's Kinopoisk film database was for failing to attach an 18+ label to seven movies on its site, including British romantic comedy “Bridget Jones’ Diary,” British black comedy “Greed”, and the Italian comedy “Perfect Strangers.”
