Anti-Corruption-Munich

Enforcement of anti-corruption laws in Europe has become a hard reality with extensive activities carried out by European prosecutors particularly in Germany and Italy. The Munich prosecution office has been actively involved in many recent cases including the F1 corruption case, the Linde AG case, which paid 35 million euros ($51 million) in settlement of corruption and bribery allegations. More recently, a former Siemens manager was indicted in connection with the Siemens bribery scandal for bribe payments in South America.

The recent implementation of the UK Bribery Act marks the start of a new chapter of enforcement. With its far reaching effect, any company which carries out a business in the UK can be liable for corruption activities performed anywhere by rogue employees or on behalf of the company by associated persons, even if the company’s management knew nothing about the bribery.

Moreover, the consistent international cooperation among regulators and prosecutors sends a message that there is nowhere to hide. The on-going industry-wide investigations, the focus on prosecuting individuals and heightened levels of scrutiny on the actions of companies’ third parties and counterparties are recent trends compliance officers should monitor closely.

Your only defence is to demonstrate that your company’s anti-corruption programme is properly implemented, maintains adequate procedures and is regularly monitored to make sure it is operating as intended.

Every January, chief compliance officers, general counsel, forensic accountants and many more from global companies and their advisors attend C5’s European Forum on Anti-Corruption in Germany.

We are now thrilled to announce the forum will be held in Munich on 24-25 January 2012.
