The clock has run out on the government's bribery prosecution of two defendants who allegedly sought inside deals on the privatization of the Republic of Azerbaijan's oil industry. In a case of first impression, U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin ruled that the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act's statute of limitations was not tolled by the government's filing of official requests for foreign evidence. Scheindlin found that a tolling period could commence only with a district court order.
