Description

The U.S. Department of Justice has declared sanctions to be the “new FCPA.” This is not just rhetoric; there are tectonic shifts already underway in how the U.S. government prosecutes sanctions evasion and what it expects from corporate compliance departments—who are caught in the middle between American and European national security priorities and increasing sophisticated evasion by adversaries.
