5 May 2025 Minerva S.A.Minerva: BRL 22m fine under leniency agreement over advantages for public officials BrazilBribery of public officials €3.44m

Minerva S.A. acknowledged, in a leniency agreement with the CGU and the AGU, that it had paid economic advantages to public officials whose action or omission was in the company's interest. The full fine under Art. 6 I Lei 12.846/2013 of BRL 51,376,161.22 was reduced by 57.1% to BRL 22,040,373.16 (indexed to IPCA up to March 2025) and is allegedly payable to the Union. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.

What organisations can take from it

A working compliance programme and early cooperation noticeably reduce the fine, but do not cancel out the effect of management responsibility.
