PMÚ fined four companies €1.1m for cartel in tender for PV power plant

The anti‑trust authority PMÚ fined four companies €1.1m for forming a cartel in a tender for a photovoltaic power plant. The EU‑funded investment was carried out by BarCom Košice (Juraj Barkáč). PMÚ alleges that BarCom, Rasema, M‑D‑J, and Sima plus coordinated their bids to ensure a pre‑agreed winner. In the end, they were unable to finance the contract from EU funds. PMÚ also banned the companies from public procurement for three years.
