GFA Games had their bank accounts frozen in Russia

The development studio Pioner has encountered new problems. Their accounts in two banks, Alfa-Bank and Raiffeisen Bank, have been temporarily suspended.

Information about the account block appeared in the “Companium” contractor verification service database. According to the registry note, the decision was made by the Federal Tax Service of Russia, citing the need to "collect taxes, fees, penalties, and/or fines, as prescribed by Article 46 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation."

It is reported that GFA Games owes over 13 million rubles in total.

The App2Top editorial team reached out to GFA Games for comment but has not yet received a response.

As a reminder, at the beginning of the month, App2Top learned about salary delays at GFA Games. The studio later confirmed difficulties in transferring money but explained that these are temporary. Furthermore, at the end of last week, the portal IXBT Games found out that the Russian legal entity GFA Games is no longer listed in the register of accredited IT companies, which means the team loses tax benefits.
