17 Mar 2026 Balt SAS / Balt USA LLCMedical technology: DOJ declination for Balt SAS after bribery of a hospital physician USABribery of public officials €1.05m

Through sham consultancy agreements, fictitious invoices and purported bonus payments, around 602,000 USD in bribes flowed from 2017 to 2023 via a Belgian consultant to a physician in a senior position at a French public hospital, so that the hospital would purchase embolisation coils from Balt. The DOJ declined to prosecute on account of voluntary self-disclosure, cooperation and remediation (declination of 17 March 2026); Balt is disgorging 1,214,797 USD in profits.
