 FCPA Compliance and Ethics Report, Episode 381

James Koukios on International Anti-Corruption Developments from January and February 2018

In this episode, James Koukios highlights six developments from Morrison and Foerster’s <a href="https://www.mofo.com/resources/publications/180227-top-ten-anti-corruption.html">January</a> and <a href="https://www.mofo.com/resources/publications/180320-top-ten-anti-corruption.html">February</a> Top Ten. Topics include:<ul><li>PDVSA and related indictments, issues, and enforcement actions and the push from the business community to attack corruption from the demand side, as opposed to the FCPA-supply side.</li><li>In February 2018, two FCPA-related civil RICO suits were filed. While FCPA-related plaintiff suits are increasingly common, they more often take the form of shareholder derivative actions or securities fraud class actions. What are the implications if any for the compliance professional?</li><li>The implications of Digital Realty Trust from the (former) DOJer perspective. This decision may well be a mixed bag for companies with a short term win translating into long-term negative consequences.</li><li>Canadian DPA initiative and the working relationship between anti-bribery prosecutors in the US and Canada.</li><li>Petrobras shareholder settlement-outlier or harbinger of things to come. We explore if the unique set of facts led to the settlement or will it mean more and similar actions.</li><li>Declinations in January and February – what if anything do they communicate to the compliance practitioner, particularly in light of the new FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy announced by the Justice Department in late 2017.</li></ul>Listen to James Koukios regarding <a href="http://fcpacompliancereport.com/2018/04/fcpa-compliance-report-eposide-381/">recent anti-corruption developments.</a>
