6 Mar 2026 Fleurette Properties LtdCommodities holding Fleurette: 25.8 million EUR strafbeschikking over bribery in Congo NetherlandsBribery of public officials €25.8m

According to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM), the top holding company of a mining, oil and gold group, which was based in the Netherlands from 2010 to 2017, participated together with others in bribing public officials of the DR Congo in order to obtain licences for cobalt and copper mines. On 6 March 2026, the OM issued a strafbeschikking (prosecutorial penalty order) imposing a fine of 25.8 million EUR, which Fleurette accepted.

What organisations can take from it

In the commodities sector, licences and concessions are the main target for bribery – holding companies share liability for payments made by their subsidiaries.

10 Feb 2026 Strukton Civiel Projecten B.V. und Strukton International B.V. (Strukton-Gruppe)Construction group Strukton pays 10 million EUR out-of-court settlement over bribery on the Riyadh Metro NetherlandsBribery of public officials €10m

To secure a share in the Riyadh Metro project, around 31 million USD was paid between 2013 and 2021 to an agent representing a high-ranking member of the Saudi royal family; the agent payments were understated to the export credit insurer Atradius. Strukton accepted a transaction (out-of-court settlement) of 10 million EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Commissions to agents with ties to ruling families carry the highest risk – and false statements to export credit insurers constitute a second offence.
