17 Apr 2026 Medirex s. r. o.; KLINICKÁ BIOCHÉMIA s.r.o.; Unilabs Slovensko, s. r. o.; synlab slovakia s. r. o.; Asociácia laboratóriíLaboratory cartel: 14.6 million EUR and procurement bans against diagnostic laboratories €14.6m
Four laboratories and their association coordinated negotiations on prices with health insurers, coordinated in tenders, exchanged sensitive information and allocated customers. At first instance, the Protimonopolný úrad Slovenskej republiky (Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic, PMÚ SR) imposed 14,551,800 EUR and three-year procurement bans; Unilabs received a substantially reduced fine as leniency applicant and under a settlement.
Common negotiating positions towards payers via an association are a cartel – association meetings need minutes and a review of the agenda.

20 Jan 2026 PHOENIX Zdravotnícke zásobovanie, a.s.; TRANSMEDIC SLOVAKIA, s.r.o. (in Konkurs)Pharmaceutical cartel uncovered thanks to whistleblower: 7.8 million EUR against PHOENIX and TRANSMEDIC €7.8m
The two companies colluded in tenders of the General Health Insurance Company for the supply of medicines (2017–2020). For the first time, a cartel was uncovered on the basis of information from a whistleblower; the Protimonopolný úrad Slovenskej republiky (Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic, PMÚ SR) imposed 7,595,200 EUR and a one-year procurement ban on PHOENIX and 201,800 EUR and a three-year procurement ban on TRANSMEDIC (first instance).
Whistleblowers receive a reward in Slovakia – internal reporting channels should be faster than the route to the authority.
