"Last year, we started interacting with Apple Inc. and Google LLC: we have sent the companies letters of cooperation and a request to remove from the shops a number of applications through which the illegal Forex dealers operated in our country. They have expressed willingness to cooperate, and Google LLC has even removed two such applications. We hope that our interaction will continue," Lyakh said.
According to the Russian legislation, all companies operating as Forex brokers in Russia should be licensed by the Central Bank.
