U.S. District Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York on Friday awarded $525,673.81 in attorneys’ fees to Google after finding that two defendants in a civil RICO suit engaged in a “willful campaign to resist discovery and mislead the court.”
Google, through its attorneys at King & Spalding, filed suit in December 2021, arguing that the named defendants—Dmitry Starovikov and Alexander Filippov—were “Russian cybercriminals who have silently infiltrated more than a million computers and other devices around the globe.”
