Hi GIR,

Explore some of the most popular content across the cross-border investigations landscape with GIR's in-depth news and analysis. Recent coverage focuses on the DOJ moving forward with two foreign bribery cases, including one against a coal executive and another one against three men accused of bribing Honduran officials. These two cases were previously placed under “priority review” in early March after US President Donald Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to halt new FCPA investigations and review existing enforcement actions.

Meanwhile, Dutch shipbuilder Damen Shipyards has said it will contest charges brought by local prosecutors who claim the company’s agents paid substantial commissions to officials to facilitate ship sales across Africa, Asia and South America.
