What organisations can take from it

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.

In 2021, a whistleblower reported payments by subsidiaries in Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and India to contractual partners; the investigation concerned private-sector bribery and bribery of foreign public officials. The CJIP provides for a public interest fine of 16,074,511 EUR (including 1 million EUR already seized) and a three-year AFA compliance programme.
