Russian court overturns the decision to ban Bitcoininfo.ru portal
Russian Supreme Court termed illegal decision to ban Bitcoininfo.ru portal, a cryptocurrencies news and information site. The case returns to a lower court for review.
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has overturned the decision by the Russian authorities to take down Bitcoininfo.ru portal. This comes about two years since July 2016 when the Vyborgsky District Court in Saint Petersburg ruled out that the website violated the Law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation” by publishing materials about bitcoin.
