New corporate inquiries for unlawful activities, such as international bribes and laundering of funds, are reportedly underway, according to the DOJ’s chairman.
“What you’ll begin to see is an extremely solid stream of investigations,” he added. “These investigations may currently be affected by the COVID pandemic, but they are going to end in some conclusions in the coming future.”
Kenneth Polite is going to leave over an explosion of significant corporate settlements when he leaves his position as the head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division this month. He said to Reuters in a departure interview that these agreements will soon appear in the cases of federal courts.
He’s talking about situations when businesses pay massive penalties to resolve criminal claims of overseas bribes or laundering of funds.
