Following a four-month freeze on the enforcement of laws against bribing foreign officials, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on June 9 announced details of the Department of Justice’s overhauled guidelines for investigating and enforcing the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
In the early days of his second term, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14209, which instructed the Justice Department to pause all new FCPA investigations and enforcement while it reviewed and updated guidance to address the “overexpansive and unpredictable FCPA enforcement against American citizens and businesses.” The order also directed the DOJ to provide solutions to eliminate “excessive barriers to American commerce abroad.”
