2022: Fine of 10.5 million rubles for cartel conspiracy

In mid-March 2022, the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in the Krasnodar Territory recognized the local company Alfa-Med as a member of a cartel conspiracy and fined it a little more than 10.5 million rubles.

According to the antimonopoly department, Alfa-Med LLC and three individual entrepreneurs, being competitors, entered into a cartel agreement. Its goal was to keep the price at a high level with participation in tenders for the supply of medical products and consumables. According to the FAS, in this way they influenced prices in 40 electronic auctions.
