MOSCOW: Russia's state competition watchdog has again postponed a decision on a possible fine on Alphabet Inc's Google, the agency said. 

The watchdog, FAS, had been expected to discuss the fine on May 31 after postponing a decision in early May but again put off the decision following a request from the company, it said on its Twitter account.
