韓国SK Engineering：米軍詐欺事件
SKは、テネシー州西部地区/トーマスL.パーカー米連邦地方裁判所判事に対し、米国との嘆願合意に署名しました。
SKに対し、「過去最大の罰金/60,578,847.08ドルの罰金」を申し渡しました。
SK Engineering＆Construction Co. Ltd.（SK）：
SKは、「米軍への賠償金として、2,601,883.86ドルを支払います」
3年間の保護観察期間中、SKは米国連邦政府と調達契約に入札禁止。
The U.S. Army previously suspended SK by order dated Nov. 17, 2017, from future contracting throughout the executive branch of the U.S. Government.
As part of SK’s plea agreement,
SK agreed to, among other things, cooperate fully with the United States in all matters relating to the conduct covered by the plea agreement and other conduct under investigation by the United States, to report violations of U.S. federal law, and to continue to implement a compliance and ethics program designed to effectively detect deter violations of U.S. federal law throughout its operations.
Separately, SK has entered into a False Claims Act settlement with the United States, under which it is obligated to pay $5,200,000 in civil penalties to the United States, which the department credited against SK’s criminal fine.
SK paid millions of dollars to secure contracts with the Army and submitted false claims to conceal those illicit payments,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.
Today’s guilty plea and substantial criminal penalty sends a clear message: companies who voluntarily self-disclose misconduct, cooperate, and remediate will receive appropriate credit for their efforts.
But companies like SK – which withheld and destroyed documents, attempted to persuade a witness not to cooperate, and failed to discipline any responsible employees – will pay a price.
