Connecticut Atty. Gen. Richard Blumenthal sued insurance brokerage Marsh & McLennan Inc. and a unit of Bermuda-based insurance firm ACE Ltd. on Friday over allegedly illegal commissions in connection with an $80-million state contract.
It was the latest in a series of actions that Blumenthal has taken since New York Atty. Gen. Eliot Spitzer filed suit in October against Marsh & McLennan for alleged bid rigging, price fixing and demanding incentive fees from insurance companies in exchange for sending property and casualty business their way.
