ArmInfo. Russian financial service Yoomoney (former Yandex Money) is blocking customer accounts (wallets) at the request of foreign countries. The wallet was blocked not at the request of a court or the Russian financial regulator, but at the request of the of Azerbaijan. This was reported by the well-known Israeli blogger Alexander Lapshin.
Lapshin posted on his Facebook page a corresponding screenshot of the correspondence with the Yandex Money support service, who stated literally the following: .
According to independent experts, by its behavior, Yandex has put itself in a more than vulnerable position, unquestioningly fulfilling the will of some of foreign states, under whose jurisdiction it is not. Moreover, this is done without a decision from Russian special services, financial regulators or judicial authorities. The company, experts believe, is thereby driving itself into an area of increased systemic risks and putting itself in a rather vulnerable position in terms of the level of trust on the part of Yoomoney service clients.
, - Lapshin suggests, commenting on the situation with his wallet.
, - the blogger reminds. Lapshin noted that he rarely uses the Yoomoney wallet, so the Azerbaijani revenge has had almost no impact on his work, but this fact shows how vulnerable the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation is today. In this regard, he recalled the high risks for those who use Yandex Money wallets.
