司法部对违反《反海外腐败法》的’不合作’梁三得利公司罚款1,960万美元

位于芝加哥的烈酒生产商Beam Suntory Inc.

该公司周二同意向美国司法部支付1,960万美元,以解决《反海外腐败法》对其印度子公司付款不当的指控。

公司

与司法部达成了一项为期三年的延期起诉协议,以解决其共谋违反FCPA的反贿赂,内部控制和会计规定的指控。

According to the DOJ,

Beam paid bribes to Indian government officials from 2006 to 2012, mostly through third-party promotors and distributors,

to secure business at government-controlled depots and stores.

The scheme

included three high-level Beam executives, including one in the legal department, the DOJ said.

During the bribery scheme,

Beam falsely recorded expenses, including bribes disguised as commission expenses. It also falsified certification letters submitted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the DOJ said.
