The vast majority of modern FCPA enforcement actions have involved improper payments made not by company employees but by third-party intermediaries acting on the company’s behalf. However, the DOJ and SEC generally do not disclose the names of bribe-paying third-party intermediary companies and individuals in their FCPA resolution documents. In a guest article, David Simon, Christopher Swift, Olivia Singelmann and Jenlain Scott of Foley & Lardner argue that, while there are obvious and valid due process reasons underlying the agencies’ refusal to disclose the names of uncharged individuals and entities, the interests of preventing bribe paying – the core objective of the FCPA – should outweigh those legitimate due process concerns and warrant public disclosure of known bribe-paying intermediaries.
