Email On 17 January 2017, the UK Serious Fraud Office, the US Department of Justice, and the Brazilian Ministério Público Federal announced an $800 million global settlement with Rolls-Royce plc and Rolls-Royce Energy Systems Inc., resolving allegations of a long-running scheme to bribe foreign officials in South America, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia in exchange for assistance in obtaining government contracts. In addition to the payment of disgorgements and fines – the largest ever imposed under the UK’s Bribery Act 2010 – Rolls-Royce has agreed to implement a number of compliance measures and reporting requirements pursuant to deferred prosecution agreements with UK, US, and Brazilian authorities. The joint settlement, which was spearheaded by the SFO, heralds a new era in global cooperation and coordination in the enforcement of bribery and corruption laws. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/new-sheriff-in-town-as-rolls-royce-pays-record-penalty-for-foreign-bribery-and-corruption
