SRZ Attorneys Author Series on the FCPA and AML Statutes

SRZ attorney Betty Santangelo and former SRZ attorney Eric Brin authored a two-part series for Business Crimes Bulletin exploring prosecutorial trends in uses of the FCPA and AML statutes. Although criminal prosecutions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq. ("FCPA") and the U.S. anti-money laundering ("AML") laws have developed differently over the years, a review of recent enforcement actions reveals that prosecutions under these criminal schemes have started to converge. It is no secret that the Department of Justice ("DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") have placed increased emphasis on prosecutions for FCPA and AML violations. This series discusses how federal prosecutors are increasingly combining charges under the FCPA and the AML laws to reach more defendants and achieve greater success in their criminal prosecutions. here to read part one, “The FCPA and AML Statutes: The Prosecutor’s Combined Weapon of Choice.”
