Ohio's attorney general is suing the brokerage operation of Marsh & McLennan Companies along with four insurers for allegedly conspiring to violate the state's antitrust laws.
An MMC representative called the lawsuit a rehash of charges brought originally by New York authorities in 2004 and concluding with a settlement in 2005.
Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann filed a 44-page complaint on Aug. 27 in the Court of Common Pleas in Cuyahoga County, accusing the New York-based Marsh brokerage of conspiring with insurers to fix prices and steer business in return for volume-based contingency bonuses.
