FAS representative discussed electronic evidence and bid-rigging robots
On 15 June 2018, Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration hosted the Annual Strategic Session on the prospects of social-and-economic development of the Russian Federation in 2018.
Alexander Kornienko, Head of Special Investigations, FAS Anti-Cartel Department, was a speaker at the Round Table on “Digital Economy – a Growth Driver”.
He emphasized: “As a result of developing digital technologies, the overwhelming majority of cartels exist in the electronic form. Therefore, the antimonopoly body must work in the digital space and collect evidence there, and FAS has been doing it for a long time and rather efficiently”.
