Russian courts close three McDonald's branches in Moscow - chairman - 08-27-2014
(Reuters) - Russian courts on Wednesday ordered the temporary closure of three McDonald's (MCD.N) restaurants in Moscow over breaches of sanitary rules, news agencies reported, amid a standoff with the West over Ukraine.
The restaurants on Moscow's Manezh square, under the walls of the Kremlin, at Pushkin Square and on Prospect Mira have been closed since last week following an order from state food safety watchdog Rospotrebnadzor.
Rospotrebnadzor has so far ordered the temporary closure of a total of five McDonald's restaurants in Russia. Sweeping checks, including unscheduled inspections, have been unveiled across Russian regions.
