A criminal case has been initiated in Russia against the South Korean company LG Electronics on charges of using illegal software, a leading Russian business daily said on Thursday.
Over 60 computers containing pirated software were seized from the company's Moscow office during an inspection carried out by officials of the Russian Interior Ministry's economic security department, Vedomosti said.
The inspection was held after a request by Russia's branch of the Business Software Alliance (BSA).
More than 60 LG officials have been accused of using pirated software, the paper said.
An LG spokesman confirmed that the inspection had taken place, but said all software used by company officials was licensed, Vedomosti reported.
