Law firm Morrison & Foerster offers its latest run-down of the Top 10 Anti-Corruption Developments.
The firm keeps a close watch on investigations, enforcement actions, prosecutions and even sentencings worldwide in major cases involving bribery, money laundering and corruption, including violations of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The firm’s latest Top 10 list includes four matters in South America, with updates on investigations coming out of Venezuela, Panama and Brazil, including the latest charges tied to the Petrobras scandal. This list also highlights the recent unsealing of indictments in the ongoing FIFA corruption investigation in Europe, as well as new lawsuits filed, the release of a DOJ Monitor Report, a new case in the UK brought by Serious Fraud Office, the sentencing of a Russian official in Maryland and the very rare detention and forced resignation of a top Chinese Communist Party official who served as chairman of China’s Telecom Corp.
