FCPA Penalties Fall in 2012

January 4, 2013 - 12:55pm

Main Justice reports that the DOJ and SEC combined to collect $260 million in FCPA fines and penalties in 2012, down 60 percent from 2011.  According to Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP’s 2012 Year-End FCPA Update, the drop is due to several big trials and the drafting of an FCPA guidance document that dominated staff time.
