韩国工程公司承认欺诈美国军队，同意支付6840万美元
SK Engineering＆Construction Co. Ltd.（SK），韩国最大的工程公司之一，
今天承认一项电汇欺诈罪，涉及一项欺诈性计划，该计划通过向美国国防部合同官员付款并向美国政府提交虚假索赔来获得美国陆军合同。
根据与美国的认罪协议，SK在美国田纳西州西部地区的地方法院法官Thomas L. Parker之前提出认罪，
他被判处SK支付60,578,847.08美元的刑事罚款，这是田纳西州西部地区对刑事被告的最高罚款，并向美国陆军支付了2,601,883.86美元的赔偿，
并试用三年，在此期间，SK同意不追究美国联邦政府的合同。
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.
