(Reuters) – Russian authorities have seized Google Russia’s bank account, making it impossible for its Russian office to function, a Google spokesperson said on Wednesday after Google’s Russian subsidiary declared its intention to file for bankruptcy.

“Google Russia has published a notice of its intention to file for bankruptcy,” the spokesperson said.
