Russian regulator rejects Google's purchase of Rambler ad system

[N_F_S]

Google continues to dominate the world althought, this time they failed:

Rambler Media Ltd. signed in July an agreement with Google on selling its Begun (Runner) contextual advertising system to the U.S.-based Internet search company for $140 million.

The Anti-Monopoly Service said it had rejected the bid as Google had failed to provide all the information necessary to clarify the financial aspects of the deal.

"The documents lack information on persons capable of influencing the economic operations of Google. Also, there is no full list of persons involved in Google - in Russia and abroad," the competition watchdog said.
