7 Aug 2025 Liberty Mutual Insurance CompanyLiberty Mutual: declination against 4.7 million USD after bribery of Indian state bank employees €4.04m
From 2017 to 2022, the Indian subsidiary Liberty General Insurance paid around 1.47 million USD to employees of six state-owned banks so that they would refer bank customers to its insurance products; the payments were booked as marketing expenses and routed through third parties. The DOJ declined to prosecute; Liberty Mutual is disgorging 4,699,088 USD in profits.
Employees of state-owned banks are public officials – sales commissions paid to them are bribes, even if they are booked as marketing.

25 Nov 2024 Commerzialbank MattersburgCommerzialbank Mattersburg: indictment over paid-for police Christmas parties, diversions Other
According to the indictment by Austria's Central Public Prosecutor's Office for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption (WKStA), the bank, at the instigation of a former member of the management board, paid for the Christmas parties of three police stations over several years in order to influence the way they performed their duties. An indictment (Strafantrag) for granting benefits to exert influence was filed against the former board member; four mostly senior police officers were offered diversion for accepting benefits to exert influence (one probation period, two monetary payments, one further probation period), and the proceedings against two other former board members were discontinued.
Sponsoring celebrations or events for authorities you deal with is not harmless goodwill – it can be punishable as grooming officials (Anfüttern).
