Putin ordered the Antimonopoly Service to look into the company's operations.

Russia's Federal Anti Monopoly Service (FAS) has begun a preliminary investigation at a Mechel coalmine in the Kemerovo region.FAS chief Igor Artemyev said that Mechel might not be the only one subjected to antimonopoly sanctions.

On Tuesday he confirmed that Evraz Group might be also fined for breaking antitrust laws along.
