Description: This list shows cases in which companies paid penalties of $25 million or more for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Penalty Total since 2000: $19,594,025,958
Number of Penalty Records: 110
Note: The totals here are adjusted to account for the fact that each current parent's entries may include both agency records and settlement announcements for the same case; or else a penalty covering multiple locations may be listed in the individual records for each of the facilities. They are also adjusted to reflect cases in which federal and state or local agencies cooperated and issued separate announcements of the outcome. Duplicate or overlapping penalty amounts are marked with an asterisk in the individual records list below.
