2011 Enforcement Index
Monday, January 2, 2012 At 7:18AM
Fifteen companies settled FCPA
enforcement actions in 2011 by
paying a total of $508.6 million.
(In 2010, 23 companies paid $1.8
billion. In 2009, 11 companies
paid $644 million. In 2008, 11
companies paid $890.)
Three cases this year made it into
the top ten -- JGC, Magyar
Telekom, and Johnson & Johnson.
J&J also left the list before the year
ended.
While 2011 was slower on the
corporate side, it was busy for
individuals in all categories --
indictments, trials, sentences, dismissals, mistrials, and appeals.
The 2011 FCPA enforcement index looks like this:
