OREANDA-NEWS. March 25, 2010. Cherdaklinsky District Court, the Ulyanovsk Region, pronounced legitimacy of the determination issued by the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in the Ulyanovsk Region (the Ulyanovsk OFAS Russia), which determined administrative charges for "Onako-Kometa" CJSC doubling the fine that the company had failed to pay on schedule.

As the fine was not paid within the designated period, the Ulyanovsk OFAS Russia initiated a case against the company under Part 1 Article 20.25 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations. The Case Protocol was forwarded to a justice of peace, who found "Onako-Kometa" CJSC guilty in committing an administrative violation and fined the company 700,000 Rubles.

Earlier OFAS Russia found that the company violated Part 5 Article 19.8 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations for failure to present information, requested by the antimonopoly body, about the volume of petrol purchases and suppliers of purchased fuel.

"Onako-Kometa" CJSC appealed the determination of the Ulyanovsk OFAS Russia. The Courts of the First Instance and the Appeal Court confirmed legitimacy of the decision taken by the antimonopoly body.
