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 FranceBribery of public officials €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.

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.
