On the heels of the Gunvor FCPA settlement for $661 million, DOJ announced its settlement with Trafigura, the latest commodities trading company to fall under DOJ’s FCPA Sweep against the industry. Trafigura joined the list of international commodity trading companies to suffer FCPA enforcement actions like Vitol, Sergeant Marine, Glencore, Freepoint, and Gunvor.
DOJ’s corporate resolutions are connected to individual prosecutions and guilty pleas of 19 individuals, including six government officials, eight corrupt intermediaries, and five trading companies.
Trafigura Beheer B.V. (“Trafigura”), based in Switzerland, plead guilty and agreed to pay $126 million as part of a plea agreement to resolve FCPA violations in Brazil. Trafigura pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA and agreed to pay a fine of over $80 million and forfeiture of $46 million. DOJ agreed to credit up to $26 million of the fine against the amounts Trafigura pays to resolve an ongoing Brazil investigation.

Discover the benefits of group travel, the importance of camaraderie in healthy aging, and how exploring the world can enhance your creativity and productivity in the workplace.
Traveling in a group offers numerous benefits, such as making new friends and experiencing new cultures. Cindy Peck, the founder of Traveling Texans, emphasizes the importance of camaraderie and new friendships as part of healthy aging. She states, “The group environment and making new friends are part of healthy aging.” Traveling with a group also provides safety, convenience, and competitive pricing, so you can explore the world and build lasting connections with like-minded individuals.
Travel allows for networking opportunities and potential professional connections you might not have otherwise. “You never know what’s going to come from taking a trip,” Mary Ann says, and she shares her own story of unexpected networking and job opportunities while on a cruise. One job candidate even impressed a potential employer by bonding over a shared love of Paris. At Traveling Texans, Cindy makes sure to welcome people of all ages from around the world, expanding that potential network even more.
Traveling in a group not only enriches your life with new experiences but also contributes to personal growth and well-being. Mary Ann reflects on how her trip with Traveling Texans inspired creativity, relaxation, and a sense of rejuvenation. She notes, “I came back from this trip so inspired, so rested, and so much more creative.” By stepping out of your comfort zone, exploring new destinations, and forming meaningful connections, you can enhance your overall well-being and cultivate personal growth.

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast, All Things Investigation. In this podcast, I joined by Mike DeBernardis to mine compliance lessons from the recently announced Gunvor and Trafigura FCPA enforcement actions.
Mike DeBernardis is a seasoned professional with a comprehensive understanding of FCPA enforcement actions and compliance matters, a perspective deeply informed by his numerous client advisory roles on self-disclosure decisions related to FCPA violations and his regular participation in industry discussions.
DeBernardis believes that FCPA enforcement actions are increasingly considering past misconduct as a determinant in assigning penalties and discounts. He underscores the necessity for companies to be proactive and innovative in their remediation efforts rather than simply adhering to minimal compliance standards. He also notes a decrease in the reliance on external monitors in FCPA resolutions, potentially due to businesses taking more initiative in improving their compliance programs and directly reporting to the DOJ.
In DeBernardis’ view, the Department of Justice’s approach to FCPA enforcement is dynamic and adaptive, with companies helping shape best practices through their communication with outside counsel and the DOJ itself.

We deeply dive into their article about the recent speeches by Department of Justice representatives at the ABA White Collar Conference on the new DOJ whistleblower program, AI, data protection, and intellectual property protection.

Jessica, a seasoned attorney with over 20 years of experience, leads Baker McKenzie’s white-collar practice in California, and Maria is a skilled US white-collar attorney originally from Ukraine.
Both regard the ABA White Collar Conference as an essential platform for the defense bar, government investigators, and compliance leaders to gather for discussions and networking. Nall sees the conference as vital for disseminating new compliance expectations and enforcement trends announced by government officials. At the same time, Piontkovska highlights the importance of the direct line of communication with these officials, providing insights straight from the source.
