俄罗斯国家媒体于周四报道称,谷歌的俄罗斯子公司已支付了近168亿卢布(合2.077亿美元)的罚款,这些罚款是俄罗斯对总部位于美国的谷歌公司(Google LLC)施加的,该子公司的破产清算人在法庭听证会上透露了这一消息。
Google’s Russian subsidiary has paid almost 16.8 billion rubles ($207.7 million) in fines imposed in Russia on the US-based Google LLC, the unit’s bankruptcy receiver told a court hearing, Russia's state media reported Thursday.
据俄罗斯官方通讯社俄新社报道,俄罗斯分支机构的破产托管人(破产清算人)瓦列里·塔利亚罗夫斯基表示,截至9月20日,已有超过167亿卢布(合2.065亿美元)汇入俄罗斯公司——谷歌有限责任公司(OOO Google)的银行账户。
Valery Talyarovsky, bankruptcy trustee (insolvency administrator) of a Russian branch, said that by Sept. 20, more than 16.7 billion rubles ($206.5 million) had arrived in the bank account of the Russian company, OOO Google, according to state news agency RIA.
他说,其中约有14.7亿卢布(合1.817亿美元)被俄罗斯联邦法警局扣划,以支付针对母公司的罚款。
About 14.7 billion rubles ($181.7 million) of that amount were written off by Russia’s Federal Bailiffs Service to cover fines against the parent company, he said.
他说,法警还根据对这家俄罗斯子公司有利的执行文件,从其债务人处追缴了超过21亿卢布(合2600万美元),这些资金也被用于支付这家美国公司的罚款,从而使总支付额达到了近168亿卢布(合2.077亿美元)。
The bailiffs also collected more than 2.1 billion rubles ($26 million) from debtors of the Russian unit under enforcement documents in its favor, and those funds were also used to pay the US corporation’s fines, he said, bringing total payments to almost 16.8 billion rubles ($207.7 million).
塔利亚罗夫斯基表示,在整个破产程序期间,已有超过188亿卢布(合2.325亿美元)注入谷歌有限责任公司的破产财产中。
Over the course of the bankruptcy proceedings, more than 18.8 billion rubles ($232.5 million) have been paid into the estate of OOO Google, Talyarovsky said.
他说,其余资金被用于支付联邦税务局的当前债权以及结清前员工的拖欠工资等。其中超过4亿卢布(合500万美元)用于支付工人工资。
The remaining funds were used for current claims of the Federal Tax Service and to pay wage arrears to former employees, among other things, he said. More than 400 million rubles ($5 million) went to pay workers.
谷歌因行政罚款对俄罗斯欠下的债务已达到2无量大数卢布(注:undecillion),并且由于逾期未付仍在继续增长。
Google’s debt to Russia for administrative fines reached 2 undecillion rubles and continues to grow due to late payment.
据世界银行的数据,这一罚款总额超过了整个世界在2023年约为106万亿美元的总GDP。
The total fine exceeded the total GDP of the entire world, which was at around $106 trillion in 2023, according to the World Bank.
这一数字源于2020年开始的一场纠纷。当时,谷歌因在封锁部分俄罗斯YouTube频道的诉讼中败诉,开始累积每天10万卢布(合1000美元)的罚款,且罚款金额每星期翻一番。
The figure stems from a dispute that began in 2020 when Google began accumulating daily penalties of 100,000 rubles ($1,000) after losing lawsuits over blocking some Russian YouTube channels, with the penalty doubling each week.
2022年俄乌冲突爆发后,YouTube又封锁了其他俄罗斯频道,原告数量增加到17个俄罗斯频道。此外,谷歌因未遵守俄罗斯法律而被定期罚款。
After the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, YouTube also blocked other Russian channels, and the number of claimants grew to 17 Russian channels. In addition, Google has been regularly fined for not complying with Russian legislation.
