MOSCOW, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- A Moscow court fined Telegram Messager 7 million rubles (about 67,300 U.S. dollars) for refusing to remove information banned in Russia, the court press service said Monday.

Telegram was found guilty of committing an administrative offense for failing to restrict access to information when such restriction is required by Russian law, the court said in a statement.

The court did not specify the prohibited information that led to the fine. Last month, Telegram was fined 4 million rubles for a similar offense.

With approximately 900 million subscribers, Telegram is now one of the world's leading messaging platforms and influential in Russia. Enditem
