巴西控股公司同意支付2.85亿美元以解决违反FCPA的行为
总部位于圣保罗的J&F Investimentos
周三对共谋违反贿赂行为的反贿赂指控表示认罪,该法案旨在贿赂巴西官员。
该公司在布鲁克林的联邦法院提起了诉讼。
它同意支付2.56亿美元的刑事罚款。
In a related SEC settlement Wednesday,
a J&F majority-owned subsidiary, JBS S.A.:
agreed to pay the SEC disgorgement and prejudgment interest totaling about $28.9 million.
JBS USA Holdings, Inc. owns 78.5 percent of Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, one of the largest chicken-producing companies in the world. Pilgrim’s Pride is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol PPC.
According to the DOJ:
J&F paid bribes to Brazilian officials between 2005 and 2017
to “ensure that Brazilian state-owned and state-controlled banks would enter into debt and equity financing transactions with J&F and J&F-owned entities” and obtain permission for a merger from the state-owned pension fund.
