McDonald's disagrees with rulings suspending operations of three of its branches in Moscow

MOSCOW. Aug 27 (Interfax) - McDonald's representatives said they considered rulings of Moscow court suspending operations of three branches in Moscow for 90 days to be groundless.

"The decisions made by the courts are groundless, the court returned the maximum punishment under this article of the code on administrative offences, though grounds for this do not exist," McDonald's lawyer Maxim Titarenko told reporters.

On August 26 Moscow's Ostankinsky Court ruled to suspend operations of the McDonald's on Prospekt Mira and this verdict has already been discussed with the client, Titarenko said. "We will appeal all groundless measures applied against us," the attorney said.
