18 Feb 2026 Périphériques et Matériels de Contrôle SAS (Groupe Carrus)Betting terminal manufacturer PMC: CJIP over payments to the head of state-owned PMU Mali €499,150
From 2008 to 2011, the Paris-based supplier of betting and gaming terminals made unjustified payments of 78,972 EUR to the head of the majority state-owned Pari Mutuel Urbain Mali, with which it had a supply contract awarded without a tender. The case was triggered by a report from TRACFIN (the French financial intelligence unit). Public interest fine of 499,150 EUR (including 335,000 EUR already seized) and a three-year AFA compliance programme.
Managers of state-controlled companies are also public officials – even small private payments to them create a risk of criminal liability for medium-sized companies.

12 Nov 2025 Comunicaciones Celulares S.A. (TIGO Guatemala)TIGO Guatemala pays more than 118 million USD for bribing members of Congress €102.1m
From 2012 to 2018, the Guatemalan mobile network operator made monthly cash payments to members of Congress or their security staff in order to obtain legislative support; part of the funds came from laundered drug money. Two-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement with a criminal penalty of 60 million USD and administrative forfeiture of 58,198,343 USD.
In joint ventures with local partners, the parent company needs genuine control over cash flows and contacts with public officials – an early voluntary self-disclosure is no substitute for a full investigation.
