7 Aug 2025 Liberty Mutual Insurance CompanyLiberty Mutual: declination against 4.7 million USD after bribery of Indian state bank employees USABribery of public officials €4.04m

From 2017 to 2022, the Indian subsidiary Liberty General Insurance paid around 1.47 million USD to employees of six state-owned banks so that they would refer bank customers to its insurance products; the payments were booked as marketing expenses and routed through third parties. The DOJ declined to prosecute; Liberty Mutual is disgorging 4,699,088 USD in profits.

What organisations can take from it

Employees of state-owned banks are public officials – sales commissions paid to them are bribes, even if they are booked as marketing.

Relevance to training and awareness

Distribution partnerships with state-owned banks, payments disguised as marketing
