Corporate Compliance Insights

In this article, originally published as a blog post, Matteson Ellis discusses the Miami-based Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission teams and their developed expertise in Latin America. As many FCPA cases have important Latin American components, it is increasingly important that enforcement officials are able to work seamlessly throughout the Latin America region. Ellis summarizes comments from enforcement officials during the American Conference Institute's recent Anti-Corruption Boot Camp in Miami. "It was refreshing to hear from local authorities with true expertise in Latin America. They take great pride in the cases they investigate," Ellis said. "Enforcement perspectives usually come from those who head up FCPA matters in Washington, DC We are reminded that FCPA enforcement is much broader than that."
