5 Aug 2024 Glencore International AGOffice of the Attorney General of Switzerland: summary penalty order against Glencore over bribery in Congo €138.9m
Glencore failed to take all reasonable organisational precautions to prevent the bribery of foreign public officials by a business partner in connection with the acquisition of minority stakes in two mining companies in the DR Congo in 2011. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (Bundesanwaltschaft, BA) issued a summary penalty order (Strafbefehl) imposing a fine of 2 million CHF and a compensatory claim of 150 million USD (amount converted at the ECB rate of 5 August 2024: 152,357,266 USD in total); further matters from 2007–2017 were discontinued.
Companies are also liable for bribery by business partners if they have not taken adequate due diligence and control measures.
