Overview

• FAS opened proceedings after a recorded advertisement played on a Pobeda Moscow–Sochi flight.
• Regulators say the actions of the advertiser and the airline show signs of violating advertising law.
• The announcement promoted high bank deposit rates, but the specific bank was not identified.
• Russian law prohibits audio advertising via transport and holds both the advertiser and distributor responsible.
• Pobeda told RIA Novosti it is not running such campaigns now, as FAS warns penalties may follow if violations are confirmed.
