Latin America has long been a critical focus for US prosecutors bringing corporate enforcement matters. In the past decade, in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) arena alone, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has brought cases against 35 companies and prosecuted 96 individuals, resulting in criminal fines in excess of US$10 billion, for bribe conduct centered in Latin America.
