The UFAС (Federal Antimonopoly Service) is an enforcement body involved in investigating and addressing violations of antitrust legislation in Russia, particularly concerning fuel pricing and market competition. It has initiated cases against companies and individuals for alleged cartel agreements, price manipulation, and anti-competitive behavior on the wholesale diesel and retail fuel markets. The UFAС operates at regional levels (e.g., Saratov, Orenburg, Moscow Oblast) and collaborates with federal authorities to monitor pricing practices and ensure consumer interests are protected.
