On March 20, 2025, the UK’s SFO, France’s Parquet National Financier and the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland announced the formation of the International Anti-Corruption Prosecutorial Taskforce (Taskforce) to strengthen collaboration in the fight against bribery and corruption. This announcement came just over a month after U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order “pausing” criminal enforcement of the FCPA (FCPA EO), following which several DOJ investigations and were delayed, dismissed or closed. In this guest article, Alston & Bird partners Albert Stieglitz and Kelly Hagedorn, along with senior associate Sophia Lekakis, discuss how the FCPA EO may open up space for other enforcement authorities, such as the new Taskforce, to step into the void.
