General Motors Co. general counsel Craig Glidden has welcomed a new federal monitor to oversee the company’s compliance with its deferred prosecution agreement (DPA), while adding another new job responsibility to the GC office.
The U.S. Department of Justice said Thursday that it has named Bart Schwartz, former chief of the criminal division in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan during the 1980s, according to the Detroit News. Often the government will allow a company to choose its own monitor subject to DOJ’s consent. This DPA, however, clearly stated that DOJ would choose the monitor.
