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.

19 Dec 2024 CNIL: 40,000 EUR against estate agency over constant video surveillance of staff FranceVideo surveillance €40,000

An estate agency (name redacted in the publication) continuously filmed workstations and break areas with image and sound, accessible via a smartphone app, and used the software Time Doctor to record keyboard and mouse activity as well as screenshots of the computers; several people accessed this data via the administrator account of one of them. The French data protection authority (CNIL) found infringements of data minimisation, legal basis, information, security and the obligation to carry out an impact assessment, and imposed 40,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Permanent video and audio recording of workplaces is practically never proportionate – not even in a small business.
