19 Mar 2026 Balt USA LLC (Balt-Gruppe)Balt USA: CJIP in France over payments to a hospital physician FranceBribery of public officials €1.77m

In parallel with the US declination, the PNF concluded a CJIP with the US subsidiary of the French medical technology manufacturer for 1,765,493 EUR (after crediting the US disgorgement) and a three-year AFA compliance programme. The case arose from Balt SAS's voluntary self-disclosure of 22 May 2023 concerning offences committed by a former manager of the acquired company Blockade Medical.
