19 Mar 2026 Colas Rail Asia Sdn Bhd (Colas-Gruppe)Colas Rail Asia: CJIP of 29.7 million EUR over bribery in metro contracts in Malaysia FranceBribery of public officials €29.7m

The Malaysian subsidiary of Colas Rail paid large, undocumented sums via intermediaries in connection with public contracts for urban rail lines in Kuala Lumpur (Kelana Jaya extension, MRT2). Following an internal investigation, Colas Rail self-reported the matter in 2017; the CJIP (Convention judiciaire d'intérêt public, a French deferred prosecution agreement) provides for a public interest fine of 29,745,974 EUR and a three-year compliance programme monitored by the French Anti-Corruption Agency (AFA) (costs of up to 1.9 million EUR).

What organisations can take from it

Undocumented payments to intermediaries on foreign projects must be stopped early by the finance and compliance functions – self-reporting after an internal investigation is rewarded.
