Settling With Your Hands Tied: Why Judicial Intervention Is Needed To Curb An Expanding Interpretation Of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Pete J. Georgis
Settling With Your Hands Tied: Why Judicial Intervention Is Needed To Curb An Expanding Interpretation Of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Pete J. Georgis
Golden Gate University Law Review
This Comment argues that the broad interpretation of the FCPA’s business nexus requirement, which criminalizes payments that both directly and indirectly “obtain or retain business,” encourages prosecutorial abuse and deviates from the intended purpose of the Act. The Justice Department’s expansive approach to FCPA enforcement has cost companies tremendously, even though the Act’s drafters intended for a more balanced approach. Part I of this Comment will discuss the history and background of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and its amendments in 1988 and 1998. Part II will examine the application of the business nexus requirement in United States …

In addition, Section III details the legislative history of the Youth Handgun …
