MOSCOW, September 5 (RAPSI) – Russian students have filed a lawsuit seeking 13.5 million rubles (over $365,000) from Swiss-based Infront Management AG and its subsidiary for unpaid contracted services, RIA Novosti reported on Friday, citing the press service of Tambov State University.

The companies signed contracts with Russian firms to hire personnel for the Sochi Olympics, which took place on the Black Sea coast last February.

A total of 850 students from six Russian universities, including Tambov State University, worked as waiting staff, dishwashers and kitchen assistants, the statement reads.

“Our students worked hard, the company that hired them had no complaints about the quality of their work and signed all the work acceptance forms. However, our Swiss partners have not honored their contractual obligations to this day,” the angency quoted Vladislav Yuryev, the head of Tambov State University, as having said.

The statement does not specify which court the lawsuit has been filed with.
