Bribery Risk Elevated, Experts Say, as DOJ Narrows FCPA Enforcement

Robert Henrici’s commentary was included in a Compliance Week article covering the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) decision to resume launching Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations after initially announcing a six-month enforcement pause of the FCPA in February. Robert clarified what the decision meant for German firms.

Bribery allegations with a nexus in Germany “will continue to be prosecuted no matter what’s happening in the U.S.,” Robert said.
