The month of June ended what has been one of the most active half-years in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement ever according to Thomas Fox. The attorney recently covered the subject in a JD Supra blog, citing many high-profile cases in 2019 along with the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) revised guidance on evaluating corporate compliance programs.  

Earlier this year, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced for the first time ever, the regulatory body is cracking down on foreign corruption that impacts U.S. commodity and derivatives markets. The regulator also recently issued an advisory to would-be corporate whistleblowers that they could be financially rewarded for their actions, signaling stepped up enforcement actions.
