Penza, 8 November 2013. PenzaNews. Actions of representatives of the Penza branch of LLC “Rosgosstrakh” of imposing an RGS-Fortuna “Auto” policy when concluding a mandatory vehicle insurance contract (OSAGO) contravene the existing legislation.

The decision is being taken to deliver the organization a warning to stop actions which are contrary to the antimonopoly legislation,” the agency interlocutor said.
